Add automated tests before generating a new Docker image to avoid pushing non-working code on master branch

How do you plan to incorporate this into the build process using GitHub Actions? Do you have any frameworks in mind for running those unit tests?

[tigerblue77]

@7Adrian, no, I start from a blank page. I never wrote Docker/bash unit tests before, I did on Java, so I'm opened to any suggestion. I think a new GitHub action that would run before the current one would be a great start ? I have to read about GitHub CI/CD cause I'm a noob.

@tigerblue77 I'm thinking of trying bats (MIT) for unit tests. I don’t have much experience with GitHub CI/CD since I typically use Jenkins pipelines for that, but I’m hopeful that GitHub Actions will work well with it bats examples.

It sounds good ! Thanks for the advice

[7Adrian]

I added tests for calculating line interpolation. You can run them by simply typing:

./tests.sh

There are executed in docker container provided by bats maintainers. Any file from test directory which ends with *.bats will be executed.

If all tests pass, the script returns 0; otherwise, it returns 1. You can experiment with this to set up CI/CD.

Also remember to credits authors of that library.

@tigerblue77 Idrac is a pain to unit test with I think you would have a public idrac instance

@blstmo can you elaborate please ? I didn't have time to check yet but @7Adrian seems to have developed a good basis for these tests
