Verifying Exit Codes

Verifying Exit Codes

You can add an expected_exit_code option to a script() function if you want to assert it exists with a particular value.

Given the file exit_example.md:

# Example of testing exit codes

The following will success:

```shell,script(name="command_1", expected_exit_code=25)
exit 25
```

But the next one will fail:

```shell,script(name="command_2", expected_exit_code=0)
exit 1
```

When you run:

specdown run exit_example.md

Then you’ll see:

Running tests for exit_example.md:

  ✓ running script 'command_1' succeeded
  ✗ running script 'command_2' failed (expected exitcode 0, got 1)

=== stdout:


=== stderr:




  2 functions run (1 succeeded / 1 failed)
