Already Tested

• Success with Aboriginal, Alpine, and Debian Linux -- huge shell scripts in Linux distros.
• Success With the Interactive Shell
  • my fork of bash-completion (see How To Test OSH)
  • git-prompt.sh
  • virtualenv
• Pure shell programs
  • Lisp and Brainfuck intepreters
  • JSON parsers
• rustup.sh
• The whole OSH release process, which is thousands of lines of our own shell scripts (dogfoods the strict modes)
• eval $(starship init bash)
  • but checkwinsize not implemented

If you manage to run any scripts with OSH, edit this page!

Patched Upstream

• neofetch, which is one of the biggest shell programs in the world. Thanks Crestwave for working on this and debugging it! It led to many good fixes in Oil.
  • The patch was not too big. shopt -s nocasematch was one of the main issues.

Tested by Maintainer

• lhoursquentin/clash. Object-oriented Programming in Shell.
• mkconfig. Portable Bourne Shell build configuration suite.

Ideas for Programs That Could Be Tested

• Anything under https://github.com/oilshell/oil/labels/should-run-this
• Any of these bats test suites! https://github.com/sstephenson/bats/wiki/Projects-Using-Bats
• Tests suites using any other unit test frameworks
• Shell scripts from any distro
  • Arch Linux and Gentoo use bash a lot, I believe

Libraries

• BATS test framework (issue 238)

Interactive Programs

• nix-profile ? You're supposed to source it, like you do with bin/activate in virtualenv.

Virtual Machines

• chsh to OSH and try to boot Ubuntu or some other distro.

Completion Scripts

• clang completion
• npm completion
• Scripts generated by Python's argcomplete (based on argparse)
• AWS completion
  • They have bash but not fish? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26981542/aws-cli-command-completion-with-fish-shell
