Tests of CLI Plugin

This page provides a set of test cases for the CLI Plugin and also serves as an example of its use.

Wiki text:

 <cli>
 user@host:~/somedir $ ls
 conf      lang         README        screen.gif  ui
 info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
 user@host:~/somedir $ wc info.txt # count words in info.txt
 55 108 1032 info.txt
 user@host:~/somedir $
 </cli>

Rendered result:

user@host:~/somedir $ ls
conf      lang         README        screen.gif  ui
info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
user@host:~/somedir $ wc info.txt # count words in info.txt
55 108 1032 info.txt
user@host:~/somedir $

user@host:~/somedir $ ls # List current directory
conf      lang         README        screen,gif  ui
info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
user@host:~/somedir $ 

This (default shell comment character):

 <cli prompt="#">
 root@host:~user/somedir # ls # List current directory
 conf      lang         README        screen,gif  ui
 info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
 root@host:~user/somedir # 
 </cli>

renders as this:

root@host:~user/somedir # ls # List current directory
conf      lang         README        screen,gif  ui
info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
root@host:~user/somedir # 

This is also valid:

 <cli prompt="# " comment="#">
 root@host:~user/somedir # ls # List current directory
 conf      lang         README        screen,gif  ui
 info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
 root@host:~user/somedir # 
 </cli> 

root@host:~user/somedir # ls # List current directory
conf      lang         README        screen,gif  ui
info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
root@host:~user/somedir # 

Example with a continuation prompt:

  <cli prompt="$ " continue="> " comment="#">
  user@host:~/somedir $ ls \
  > # List directory
       file1 file2
  </cli>

user@host:~/somedir $ ls \
> # List directory
file1 file2

user@host:~/somedir $ ls # List current directory
conf      lang         README        screen,gif  ui
info.txt  manager.dat  renderer.php  syntax.php
user@host:~/somedir $ 

Wiki text:

C:\Users\User>REM hello world!
C:\Users\User>echo 'hello world!'
'hello world!'

Rendered result:

C:\Users\User>REM hello world!
C:\Users\User>echo 'hello world!'
'hello world!'

Simple minded implementation will not work for results as end of prompt is same as results marker!

• The following codes don't display right

<cli prompt="#">
# rpm -ivh darcs-1.0.9-3.fc6.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:darcs                  ########################################### [100%]
</cli>

# rpm -ivh darcs-1.0.9-3.fc6.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:darcs                  ########################################### [100%]

Not sure to do about this as download progress marker uses same character as prompt!

• CLI shouldn't silently eat intentional blank lines:

<cli prompt=“$” comment=“#”> user@host:~/somedir $ ls # List current directory conf lang README screen,gif ui info.txt manager.dat renderer.php syntax.php

user@host:~/somedir $ # I intended there to be two blank lines above!
