"""
TestCmd.py:  a testing framework for commands and scripts.

The TestCmd module provides a framework for portable automated testing
of executable commands and scripts (in any language, not just Python),
especially commands and scripts that require file system interaction.

In addition to running tests and evaluating conditions, the TestCmd
module manages and cleans up one or more temporary workspace
directories, and provides methods for creating files and directories in
those workspace directories from in-line data, here-documents), allowing
tests to be completely self-contained.

A TestCmd environment object is created via the usual invocation:

    import TestCmd
    test = TestCmd.TestCmd()

There are a bunch of keyword arguments available at instantiation:

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(description = 'string',
                           program = 'program_or_script_to_test',
                           interpreter = 'script_interpreter',
                           workdir = 'prefix',
                           subdir = 'subdir',
                           verbose = Boolean,
                           match = default_match_function,
                           match_stdout = default_match_stdout_function,
                           match_stderr = default_match_stderr_function,
                           diff = default_diff_stderr_function,
                           diff_stdout = default_diff_stdout_function,
                           diff_stderr = default_diff_stderr_function,
                           combine = Boolean)

There are a bunch of methods that let you do different things:

The TestCmd module provides pass_test(), fail_test(), and no_result()
unbound functions that report test results for use with the Aegis change
management system.  These methods terminate the test immediately,
reporting PASSED, FAILED, or NO RESULT respectively, and exiting with
status 0 (success), 1 or 2 respectively.  This allows for a distinction
between an actual failed test and a test that could not be properly
evaluated because of an external condition (such as a full file system
or incorrect permissions).

    import TestCmd

    TestCmd.pass_test()
    TestCmd.pass_test(condition)
    TestCmd.pass_test(condition, function)

    TestCmd.fail_test()
    TestCmd.fail_test(condition)
    TestCmd.fail_test(condition, function)
    TestCmd.fail_test(condition, function, skip)
    TestCmd.fail_test(condition, function, skip, message)

    TestCmd.no_result()
    TestCmd.no_result(condition)
    TestCmd.no_result(condition, function)
    TestCmd.no_result(condition, function, skip)

The TestCmd module also provides unbound global functions that handle
matching in the same way as the match_*() methods described above.

    import TestCmd

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.match_exact)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.match_caseinsensitive)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.match_re)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.match_re_dotall)

These functions are also available as static methods:

    import TestCmd

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.TestCmd.match_exact)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.TestCmd.match_caseinsensitive)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.TestCmd.match_re)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.TestCmd.match_re_dotall)

These static methods can be accessed by a string naming the method:

    import TestCmd

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = 'match_exact')

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = 'match_caseinsensitive')

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = 'match_re')

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = 'match_re_dotall')

The TestCmd module provides unbound global functions that can be used
for the "diff" argument to TestCmd.TestCmd instantiation:

    import TestCmd

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.match_re,
                           diff = TestCmd.diff_re)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = TestCmd.simple_diff)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = TestCmd.context_diff)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = TestCmd.unified_diff)

These functions are also available as static methods:

    import TestCmd

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = TestCmd.TestCmd.match_re,
                           diff = TestCmd.TestCmd.diff_re)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = TestCmd.TestCmd.simple_diff)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = TestCmd.TestCmd.context_diff)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = TestCmd.TestCmd.unified_diff)

These static methods can be accessed by a string naming the method:

    import TestCmd

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(match = 'match_re', diff = 'diff_re')

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = 'simple_diff')

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = 'context_diff')

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = 'unified_diff')

The "diff" argument can also be used with standard difflib functions:

    import difflib

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = difflib.context_diff)

    test = TestCmd.TestCmd(diff = difflib.unified_diff)

Lastly, the where_is() method also exists in an unbound function
version.

    import TestCmd

    TestCmd.where_is('foo')
    TestCmd.where_is('foo', 'PATH1:PATH2')
    TestCmd.where_is('foo', 'PATH1;PATH2', '.suffix3;.suffix4')
