So the .help on .testcase says:
.testcase NAME Begin redirecting output to 'testcase-out.txt'
And .check says:
.check GLOB Fail if output since .testcase does not match
So it's a way to check actual TEXT output vs expected TEXT output, right? Since
I'm not sure of the normal reason for this I just played around with it real
quick. Here're some tests where I don't know if it's working as intended or
not. (For below copy/pastes headers default on)
Windows 7 command prompt
sqlite_source_id()
2016-09-26 12:38:22 fe89225eab777c2c9cb1cbc31092b9e39f516842
------------------------------
.check on its own kills the session and quits back to the command prompt
D:\Temp>sqlite3
SQLite version 3.15.0 2016-09-26 12:38:22
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.
sqlite> .check
Usage: .check GLOB-PATTERN
D:\Temp>
------------------------------
Also kills the session if it fails the test.
D:\Temp>sqlite3
SQLite version 3.15.0 2016-09-26 12:38:22
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.
sqlite> create table tbl (a int, b text, c real);
sqlite> insert into tbl values (1, 'one', 1.0), (2, 'two', 2.0), (3, 'three',
3.0);
sqlite> .testcase a
sqlite> select * from tbl where a = 1;
sqlite> .check 1|one|1.0
testcase-a FAILED
Expected: [1|one|1.0]
Got: [a|b|c
1|one|1.0
]
D:\Temp>
------------------------------
If testcase-out.txt exists from a previous session then .check looks at it even
if you didn't do a .testcase on that session:
D:\Temp>sqlite3
SQLite version 3.15.0 2016-09-26 12:38:22
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.
sqlite> create table tbl (a int, b text, c real);
sqlite> insert into tbl values (1, 'one', 1.0), (2, 'two', 2.0), (3, 'three',
3.0);
sqlite> .check a|b|c*
testcase- ok
sqlite>
------------------------------
Doing a .testcase immediately followed by a .check gives an error and quits to
command prompt.
sqlite> .testcase b
sqlite> .check *
Error: cannot read 'testcase-out.txt'
D:\Temp>
------------------------------
Same thing happens if you do run queries but don't have any returned rows
D:\Temp>sqlite3
SQLite version 3.15.0 2016-09-26 12:38:22
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
Connected to a transient in-memory database.
Use ".open FILENAME" to reopen on a persistent database.
sqlite> create table tbl (a int, b text, c real);
sqlite> insert into tbl values (1, 'one', 1.0), (2, 'two', 2.0), (3, 'three',
3.0);
sqlite> .testcase a
sqlite> select * from tbl where a = 4;
sqlite> .check *
Error: cannot read 'testcase-out.txt'
D:\Temp>

-Add the ".testcase" and ".check" dot-commands.
Is there documention on what these are? I don't see anything on them in the
linked CLI page draft.

Subject: [sqlite] SQLite 3.15.0 scheduled for 2016-10-14
Our current schedule for the next SQLite release (3.15.0) is for 2016-10-14.
Your beta-tests are appreciated. You can get a pre-release snapshot
from the download page (https://www.sqlite.org/download.html) and you
can review the change log
(https://www.sqlite.org/draft/releaselog/3_15_0.html).
The trunk (https://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?r=trunk) is stable and
is being used by the SQLite developers for mission-critical processes.
Thank you for your attention.
