Myself and an intern are working on porting dash to VxWorks.
https://www.windriver.com/products/vxworks
I've found harness for testing scripts, I haven't found anything for verifying dash itself?
How does Debian, or any other distro, (or for that matter a BSD), regression test dash?
Thanks

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.

Bumping this old 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.
Cheers,
Michael
