How does Debian, or any other distro, (or for that matter a BSD), regression test dash? Thanks Brian Wind River ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Answering for Debian: we don’t really. There is only a smoke test verifying dash exists and symlinks to it are all in place, but nothing more than that at the moment. -- Cheers, Andrej ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

There are a few attempts at carefully testing POSIX shells: - POSIX <http://www.opengroup.org/testing/downloads.html> - Smoosh <https://github.com/mgree/smoosh/tree/master/tests> [disclaimer: I'm the author] - Oil <https://www.oilshell.org/release/latest/test/spec.wwz/survey/osh.html> - Yash <https://github.com/posix-shell-tests/posix-shell-tests> - Bash <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/tree/tests> None of these are a perfect fit for testing any of dash's particular behaviors (e.g., dash treats non-lexical control differently from bash). I would be _very_ interested in helping to build a test suite for POSIX shells in general; I would be happy to also build a test suite for dash in particular. Not only would such a test suite help identify regressions in dash, it would also serve to document dash-specific choices for unspecified and undefined behavior.
