![]() Use `set -u` and `set -o pipefail` to catch accidental mistakes and failures more strongly. - `set -u` catches the use of undefined variables - `set -o pipefail` catches failures (like `set -e`) earlier in the pipeline. This makes the tests a bit more robust. It is nice to read code not worrying about these spurious success paths (via uncaught) errors undermining the tests. Indeed, I caught some bugs doing this. There are a few tests where we run a command that should fail, and then search its output to make sure the failure message is one that we expect. Before, since the `grep` was the last command in the pipeline the exit code of those failing programs was silently ignored. Now with `set -o pipefail` it won't be, and we have to do something so the expected failure doesn't accidentally fail the test. To do that we use `expect` and a new `expectStderr` to check for the exact failing exit code. See the comments on each for why. `grep -q` is replaced with `grepQuiet`, see the comments on that function for why. `grep -v` when we just want the exit code is replaced with `grepInverse, see the comments on that function for why. `grep -q -v` together is, surprise surprise, replaced with `grepQuietInverse`, which is both combined.
