TypedDevs/bashunit 0.45.0 on GitHub

✨ Improvements

assert_is_symlink, assert_is_not_symlink and assert_symlink_to assert on a symbolic link itself, which every other filesystem assertion follows through to the target (#981)
assert_true and assert_false accept a command with its arguments — assert_true test -d /tmp. A single argument keeps its previous meaning (#994)
Named snapshot assertions support multiple snapshots per test; mismatches show the resolved path and --snapshot-update hint (#986)

🛠️ Changes

assert_true / assert_false report unknown command / not executable instead of a bare exit code 127 or 126 (#982)
Core comparison assertions report missing required arguments as usage errors instead of comparing against empty values (#983)
Performance: Literal snapshots bypass placeholder regex processing unless they contain a placeholder (about 13x faster) (#985)
Performance: assert_within_delta uses fixed-point arithmetic for common values, with a bc/awk fallback for unsupported inputs (about 6.6x faster) (#979)
Performance: Spy assertions and call counters use builtins instead of cat and command substitutions (about 6.5x faster) (#978)
Performance: assert_contains_ignore_case uses Bash's nocasematch where available, falling back to tr on Bash 3.0 (about 10x faster) (#977)
Build: standalone binaries omit source comments while preserving heredoc content and source markers, reducing the current artifact by about 22% (#990)
Internal: Split src/runner.sh and src/coverage.sh into focused modules with no behavior change; see ADR-010 (#924, #925)

🐛 Bug Fixes

Snapshot placeholders no longer match anything at all without perl; the grep fallback treated a multi-line pattern as separate alternatives, and now uses awk over the whole value (#1002)
Snapshots resolve correctly for an absolute test path; the ./ prefix made them cwd-relative, so a stray snapshot was recorded and every snapshot assertion passed (#1002)
assert_false no longer passes when the command does not exist; exit codes 127 and 126 fail both boolean assertions, because the command never ran (#982)
assert_have_been_called_times and assert_have_been_called_nth_with report a usage error for a non-numeric count instead of leaking a raw integer expression expected (#984)
A failing test whose output quotes a shell-error phrase is no longer also reported as a runtime error (#992)
Runtime errors are recognised from the exit code when the diagnostic text is translated or redirected away (#998)
assert_within_delta accepts a leading + on any operand (#979)
Invalid BASHUNIT_SHARD_INDEX / BASHUNIT_SHARD_TOTAL values now fail with a clear error instead of reaching raw arithmetic or reporting no tests (#969)
Date assertions reject unparseable values instead of crashing or treating them as epoch 0 (#968)
assert_json_equals rejects invalid JSON instead of considering two unparseable values equal (#967)
Parallel runs preserve results from same-named test files in different directories (#959)
Coverage no longer counts variable assignments as functions or emits malformed LCOV records for assignments containing | (#936)
The nightly coverage workflow discovers nested unit tests while excluding coverage meta-tests and fixtures (#980)
build.sh deduplicates embedded files by repository-relative path, preventing duplicate or missing modules with the same filename (#923)
bashunit doc no longer errors when the default bootstrap file is missing (#929)
