Project description

https://github.com/tillahoffmann/sphinxcontrib-shtest/actions/workflows/main.yaml/badge.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/sphinxcontrib-shtest

shtest tests shell commands in your Sphinx documentation. The shtest directive supports the usual doctest syntax. It offers the following options:

  • :returncode: [integer] specifies the expected return code (defaults to 0).

  • adding the :stderr: flag compares results with the stderr rather than stdout stream.

  • :cwd: [relative path] specifies the working directory relative to the source of the document (defaults to the directory containing the source document).

  • :tempdir: executes the test in a temporary directory.

Examples

# Obligatory hello world example.
$ echo hello world
hello world
:stderr:

# Read from stderr instead of stdout.
$ echo message on stderr >&2
message on stderr
:returncode: 1

# Use a non-zero expected return code.
$ false
# Run multiple tests in one directive.
$ echo hello
hello
$ echo world
world
:cwd: tests

# Run a test in a particular working directory relative to the document.
$ cat hello.txt
world
:tempdir:

# Run a test in a temporary directory.
$ echo hello > world.txt

Installation

Run pip install sphinxcontrib-shtest to install the package and add "sphinxcontrib.shtest" to your extensions list in conf.py (see here for details). Then execute sphinx-build -b shtest /path/to/source/directory /path/to/output/directory.
