Summary

This release renames the package from exetest to cmdtest to better reflect the project's purpose: simpler, ergonomic testing helpers for command-line applications for Zig.

The new name more clearly communicates the package intent: testing command-line interfaces.

What changed

• Renamed the package name from exetest to cmdtest.
• Updated build outputs and package naming to match the new name.

Migration notes

• Reinstall the cmdtest using the following command:

  zig fetch --save=cmdtest https://github.com/pyk/cmdtest/archive/v0.2.0.tar.gz

• If you previously depended on exetest, update scripts and CI to use cmdtest instead.
• No API behavior change. Only the package name was changed to improve clarity.

What’s included:

• A small, ergonomic Zig library for testing CLI applications.
• Two simple, well-documented core functions:
  • add: register test binaries in a project's build.zig.
  • run: invoke and collect output of any installed executable from tests.
• A minimal example of Zig project that uses exetest: exetest-example
• Focus on performance and developer ergonomics so you can write fast, reproducible integration tests.

My goals:

• Makes integration testing command-line programs in Zig straightforward.
• Works with binaries produced by your build.zig or any system-installed executable.
• Keeps test harness code minimal and idiomatic for Zig projects.
