CliTester is a simple set of helpers for testing command line interfaces with

RSpec. It provides a method to run command line applications and a way to check

the output and exit codes.

Use it in combination with

[GivenFilesystem](https://github.com/cornelius/given_filesystem) for convenient

testing of command line applications.

CliTester is licensed under the MIT license.

## Usage

To make the helpers of `cli_tester` available in your tests add the `cli_tester` gem to your Gemfile and include the `CliTester` module in your tests, e.g. in your `spec_helper.rb`:

```ruby

require "cli_tester"

include CliTester

```

## Helpers

* `run_command`: Run command with specified arguments

* `exits_with_success`: Check that executable exits with exit code 0

* `exits_with_error`: Check that executable exits with exit code different from 0
