not sure how to source another file

[binaryphile]

None of the examples show how to source a file into the test file, say for testing a set of functions.

I tried simply using "source ../lib/functions.sh" at the start of the test script, but got "/usr/local/bin/roundup: 3: ./functions-test.sh: source: not found".

Changing the line to ". ../lib/functions.sh" got further, but errored with:

". ../lib/functions.sh

• function myfunc {
  /usr/local/bin/roundup: 3: ../lib/functions.sh: function: not found"

I also tried adding both of these to a before() call, but neither worked.

How are you supposed to source functions for testing when they're defined in other files?

roundup runs in /tmp. You need to source the explicit path. I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. Sorry.

There are various ways you can get the directory of the test file itself so you can source scripts in relative paths. One that works for me is:

TEST_DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )
