Do you unit test your Bash noscripts? If so, how?

Curious if anyone here uses a proper testing framework like bats or rolls their own setup? Or do you some set -euo pipefail, and hope for the best 😅

Scripts running in prod always welcome extra paranoia.

Is it possible to write a bash noscript that installs python automatically?

I'm developing a YouTube File Manager with python although I need a way for my fellow YouTubers to use it. Unless if there is a way to turn it into an executable version in all operating systems?

What's the most "overkill but it works" bash noscript you've written?

Sometimes I catch myself writing 100-line bash noscripts for things that could probably be done in 5 lines with another tool... but where’s the fun in that?

Curious what ridiculous but functional bash noscripts you've created that made you go: "this is fine."

Linux mint cinnamon

I have a school project and they've asked for a few screenshots showing the use of commands to create a tutorial book.
Commands like creating a file, then transferring the file to a different directory.
Everyone I attempt to use the command lines it doesn't work. I've looked up command "cheat sheets" I feel like I'm missing something

How do you organize large Bash noscripts for better readability and maintenance?

I know “just use Python" but anyway, how do you keep bigger noscripts clean and maintainable? Any tips or examples?

How do I list directory contents while looking for FILENAME.EXT with find /directory -type f -name "*.EXT"

$ find /directory -type f -name "*.EXT" -exec

I don't understand how to properly list (ls) the contents of the path itself (the one containing the matched foo.EXT files).





I'm using this bad, ugly and weird workaround:

-exec bash -c 'ls -ahl "$(dirname "{}")/"' \;

Thanks

ask about rsync: how do I write option for ignore permission?

Hi, I was using rsync -anchuv a/ b/ but doing reverse rsync -anchuv b/ a/ I realize that the permissions are not equal between files into a/ and b/ .
I read in man that -p is for preserve permissions
how do I do this: ignore permission? or I should use -apn?
flags chuv is of old use of -r insted of actual (today in use) -a...
Thank you and regards!

Alternatives to Tabby and MobaXterm?

Are there any Terminals that have these capabilities?
1. Quick commands buttons (like Macros in Moba)
2. The capability of ignoring a key (I use caffeine to have my laptop awake; it uses the F15 key that presses the ~ tilde button on the terminal)

Tabby has started exhibiting issues downloading plugins, and the dev is not that vocal (perhaps busy) about a solution. Moba ,is unfortunate,ly too costly. I use Windterm now, but Windterm cannot ignore the F15 key that caffeine hits.

Clean up consecutive identical escape sequences?

I have some utf-8 art that my editor saves as ANSI with every single character's fg and bg color defined in an escape sequence. How would i go about making a noscript that would remove every escape sequence that was identical to the previous, but not remove the characters being escaped?

forcing three AND conditions to inspect and check contents (against file extension) inside a folder <3.2.5.2 Conditional Constructs>

Hello everyone

Can please someone verify this conditional construct I came up with?

Does it need improvements? Fixes?

Thanks

 

cd /some/path/some/movies/moviename
[[ $(ls *.m4a 2>/dev/null) && $(ls *.mkv 2>/dev/null) && $(ls *.srt 2>/dev/null) ]] && printf '%s\n' "Directory \`${PWD##*/}\` has valid contents" || printf '%s\n' WARNING! "Found invalid files into:" "\`${PWD##*/}\`"

 

Explanation: folder/ must contain exactly this set only, nothing more nothing less; here's the only valid triplet: .m4a AND .mkv AND .srt

 

Example of an invalid set:

- moviefolder/
- moviename.mkv
- moviename.srt
