autofonce is a modern runner for GNU Autoconf Testsuites: autofonce has a limited understanding of m4 macros that appear in testsuites written for the GNU Autoconf testsuites, and can run such tests in a modern way.

- automatic run from any directory in the project
- short display focusing on failed tests
- automatic parallel execution
- promotion of tests results to fix tests
Here is a simple example of test understood by autofonce:
# Start of a test, and the name that will be displayed
AT_SETUP([Example test])
# can be used to select tests to run:
AT_KEYWORDS([example test autofonce])
# create a file `file` with its content
AT_DATA([file], [
content of file
on multiple lines
])
# call some command, check its exit code, stdout, stderr
AT_CHECK([cat file], [0], [stdout of my command], [stderr of my command])
# you can do more, ignore some results, run more tests in case of failure, etc.
# end of the test
AT_CLEANUP
Now, copy this test in a file test.at, and run autofonce:
$ autofonce init
$ autofonce run -T test.at
Project description loaded from $PWD/autofonce.toml
Loading tests from file "$PWD/test.at"
Creating testing directory $PWD/_autofonce
0001 Example test FAIL (test.at:14:0 stdout stderr)
Results:
* 1 checks performed
* 0 / 1 tests executed successfully
* 1 tests failed: 0001
File "$PWD/_autofonce/results.log" created with failure results
zsh: exit 1 autofonce run -T test.at
