Bats 1.8.0

Released: 2022-09-15

Added:

• using external formatters via --formatter <absolute path> (also works for
  --report-formatter) (#602)
• running only tests that failed in the last run via --filter-status failed (#483)
• variable BATS_TEST_RETRIES that specifies how often a test should be
  reattempted before it is considered failed (#618)
• Docker tags latest-no-faccessat2 and <bats-version\>-no-faccessat2 for
  avoiding bash: bats: No such file or directory on docker<20.10 (or
  runc<v1.0.0-rc93) (#622)
• BATS_TEST_TIMEOUT variable to force a timeout on test (including setup()) (#491)
• also print (nonempty) $stderr (from run --separate-stderr) with
  --print-output-on-failure (#631)
• # bats test_tags=<tag list>/# bats file_tags=<tag list> and
  --filter-tags <tag list> for tagging tests for execution filters (#642)
• warning BW03: inform about setup_suite in wrong file (.bats instead of setup_suite.bash) (#652)

Documentation

• update gotcha about negated statements: Recommend using run ! on Bats
  versions >=1.5.0 (#593)
• add documentation for bats_require_minimum_version (#595)
• improve documentation about setup_suite (#652)

Fixed:

• added missing shebang (#597)
• remaining instances of run -<N> being incorrectly documented as run =<N> (#599)
• allow --gather-test-outputs-in <directory> to work with existing, empty
  directories (#603)
  • also add --clean-and-gather-test-outputs-in <directory> for improved UX
• double slashes in paths derived from TMPDIR on MacOS (#607)
• fix load in teardown marking failed tests as not run (#612)
• fix unset variable errors (with set -u) and add regression test (#621)
• teardown_file errors don't swallow setup_file errors anymore, the behavior
  is more like teardown's now (only return/last command can trigger teardown
  errors) (#623)
• upgraded from deprecated CI envs for MacOS (10 -> 11,12) and Ubuntu
  (18.04 -> 22.04) (#630)
• add /usr/lib/bats as default value for BATS_LIB_PATH (#628)
• fix unset variable in bats-formatter-junit when setup_file fails (#632)
• unify error behavior of teardown/teardown_file/teardown_suite functions:
  only fail via return code, not via ERREXIT (#633)
• fix unbound variable errors with set -u on setup_suite failures (#643)
• fix load not being available in setup_suite (#644)
• fix RPM spec, add regression test (#648)
• fix handling of IFS by run (#650)
• only print setup_suite's stderr on errors (#649)

Documentation

• fix typos, spelling and links (#596, #604, #619, #627)
• fix redirection order of an example in the tutorial (#617)
