ZUnit is a powerful unit testing framework for ZSH

## Installation

> **WARNING**: Although the majority of ZUnit's functionality works as expected, it is in the early stages of development, and as such bugs are likely to be present. Please continue with caution, and [report any issues](https://github.com/zunit-zsh/zunit/issues/new) you may have.

### [Zulu](https://github.com/zulu-zsh/zulu)

```sh

zulu install zunit

```

> **NOTE:** In versions of Zulu prior to `1.2.0`, there is an additional step required after install:

  ```sh

  cd ~/.zulu/packages/zunit

  ./build.zsh

  zulu link zunit

  ```

  

### [zplug](https://github.com/zplug/zplug)

ZUnit and its dependencies can all be installed with zplug.

```sh

zplug 'molovo/revolver', \

  as:command, \

  use:revolver

zplug 'zunit-zsh/zunit', \

  as:command, \

  use:zunit, \

  hook-build:'./build.zsh'

```

### Homebrew

```sh

brew install zunit-zsh/zunit/zunit

```

### Manual

```sh

git clone https://github.com/zunit-zsh/zunit

cd ./zunit

./build.zsh

chmod u+x ./zunit

cp ./zunit /usr/local/bin

```

> ZUnit requires [Revolver](https://github.com/molovo/revolver) to be installed, and in your `$PATH`. The zulu or homebrew installation methods will install this dependency for you.

## Writing Tests

### Test syntax

Tests in ZUnit have a simple syntax, which is inspired by the [BATS](https://github.com/sstephenson/bats) framework.

```sh

#!/usr/bin/env zunit

@test 'My first test' {

	# Test contents here

}

```

The body of each test can contain any valid ZSH code. The zunit shebang `#!/usr/bin/env zunit` **MUST** appear at the top of each test file, or ZUnit will not run it.
