Daniel Hilst e82af69caf test(xcat-core): a missing fixture in two POWER install tests stops the whole suite
debian_install_prescript.t and ubuntu_subiquity_storage.t called BAIL_OUT
at eight places where an extraction or a fixture was not what they
expected. prove stops every remaining file on a bail-out, so one changed
script hides the results of every test that would have run after it. die
is just as loud and costs only its own file.

Three comments also carried the incident rather than the constraint. The
prescript test header named a build number, a cell, a case and the ssh
error the node produced nine times; the boot-file test repeated the
nodeset message and the media table below it.

xCAT-test

Unit tests that run from the source checkout are split by implementation language:

Test type Location Runner
Perl unit tests xCAT-test/unit/*.t prove -r xCAT-test/unit
Shell unit tests xCAT-test/bats/*.bats bats -r xCAT-test/bats
CLI functional tests xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/ and xCAT-test/autotest/bundle/ xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -t <case> or xcattest -f <cluster.conf> -b <bundle>

Use Perl .t tests for Perl modules, Perl scripts, templates, and repository artifacts. Use BATS tests for shell-script behavior that can be exercised from the checkout by sourcing a shell library or script and shadowing external commands.

Shell behavior should not be tested by Perl tests that grep shell source. Put those tests under xCAT-test/bats instead.

See unit/README.md and bats/README.md for the detailed rules for each unit-test suite.
