Daniel Hilst b5586111fa test(xcat-core): the subiquity error-command test is written as a Perl program
ubuntu_subiquity_error_commands.t measures shell. It parses the error-commands
block out of compute.subiquity.tmpl, renders each item, writes a wrapper that
shadows nc, tar and tail, and shells out. The Perl adds nothing the shell
cannot state, and the reader follows two languages to reach two assertions.

The test moves to xCAT-test/bats, which the xcat_test workflow already runs. It
keeps what it proved: the error commands return instead of waiting for a
collector an unattended install does not have, and they write the end of the
curtin log to the console the installer names. An error-commands block that
stops matching fails the test instead of covering nothing.

xCAT-test/bats

Shell-script unit tests live here and run with:

bats -r xCAT-test/bats

The GitHub Actions xcat_test workflow runs this command after the Perl .t unit tests. Use BATS for shell behavior that can be exercised from the source tree without an installed xCAT, a live management node, or real services.

Prefer sourcing an existing shell library or sourceable script and calling the function under test. Keep reusable install-template helpers in xCAT-server/share/xcat/install/scripts/scriptlib, and reusable postscript helpers in xCAT/postscripts/xcatlib.sh. Use scratch directories and shadowed commands so tests cannot write to the host.

Extraction helpers in helpers/shell_source.bash are only for legacy code that cannot safely be sourced yet. Do not add Perl .t tests that grep shell source when the behavior can be tested with BATS.
