Do you write scripts for a POSIX shell? There's a new test runner 'Brat', only a month old:

Brat='Brutal Runner for Automated Tests'. Intentionally small, to be embedded directly in projects, less than 1000 lines, TAP output.

If you've ever used Bats here's a comparison:

(essentially it's more minimal, less dependencies, probably faster, much more portable)

I've been using it to test YSH (Oils project).

Oil updates are always as interesting read for shell nerds https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2024/12/objects.html

#ShellScript #OilShell

I'm a longtime bash user using osh as my default shell for a year or so now, with only minor noticeable issues. I haven't yet had a need to invest time in the still-being-designed ysh.
I feel osh is the killer feature of the Oils project - 1. a truly compatible, cleaned up, principled bash replacement, with 2. optional knobs you can turn to gain more correctness and power, and 3. the promise of easy interop or migration to the next-gen ysh language, providing future-proofness.
