DetailsThe bash-bats package (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/bash-bats) uses an unmaintained upstream (https://github.com/sstephenson/bats), abandoned by its owner in early 2016 (announced and discussed in https://github.com/sstephenson/bats/issues/150). Last bats version, released from this upstream, is 0.4.0, which is essentially broken because of few serious bugs (e.g. https://github.com/sstephenson/bats/issues/89 - this one breaks any test relying on the default value of IFS variable). There will be no more releases in this upstream (extremely likely).
As discussed in git issue #150 (see the link above), the project is continued in community-maintained fork (https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core), which includes many crucial fixes and already reached stable version 1.1.0. This ticket is a request to switch the bash-bats package from abandoned upstream to the new one. |
This task depends upon
To anyone that doesn't know how to use these. Put both files in a new directory and run:
$ makepkg
That will create a package you can then install with:
$ sudo pacman -U bash-bats-core-1.1.0-0-any.pkg.tar.xz
