CLI SNAP

cli-snap is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed for testing other CLI applications using a snapshot-based testing strategy.

Installation

Using cargo

cargo install cli-snap

Usage

1. Create a test suite file named cli-snap.toml to define your testing commands:

[[tests]]
commands = ["echo 'Hello'"]
id = "hello-world"

[[tests]]
commands = ["echo 'test 2'", "echo 'second hello'"]
id = "test-2"

[config]
snapshot_directory = "./snaps"

| Ensure each test has a unique ID to distinguish and identify each snapshot.

2. Run the test suite using the following command:

cli-snap --config <directory where you have saved toml>

3. To update snapshots, run the command.

cli-snap --config <directory where you have saved toml> --update-snapshot
