Thanks for the additional cleanup work too!

Why did you change the run command? As far as I can tell, it worked with run echo 'a' as well.

As a stronger assertion that - as input on stdin doesn't cause problems. (Since the - is also the flag to the assertion)

Could you update the function comment too? For example:

 # Options:
 #   -p, --partial - partial matching
 #   -e, --regexp - extended regular expression matching
+#   - - read expected output from the standard input
 # Arguments:
-#   $1 - [=STDIN] expected output

 #   0 - expected matches the actual output

I'm thinking a long option, e.g. --stdin, would be nice. Safe for refute_output. What do you think?

Needs a few more simple changes and ready to go!

Could you mention the long option in the README as well. Like we did for other options:

Partial matching can be enabled with the --partial option (-p for short). When used, the assertion fails if the expected substring is not found in $output.

Please factor out common parts of tests to avoid duplicating code. Like it's done here.

I actually have a strong dislike of that extraction. Generally I favor non-dry tests because tests should be explicit and self-contained. In this case (and with test_r_regexp), it's quite difficult to understand what's going on with the extracted function. Instead of the test functioning as example usage, we now have variables (unnamed vars at that) being used in place of the very thing that makes the test unique.

If anything should be extracted, I'd extract the duplicated assertions from all tests:

  [ "$status" -eq 0 ]
  [ "${#lines[@]}" -eq 0 ]

The implementation of those statements are not germane to the test, so abstracting them away can improve readability. However, extracting away the actual invocation is a bad idea, IMO. The unique invocation is literally the raison d'être for the test(s).

Opened a PR to this PR to show usage of just the assertion helper rather than attempting to dry up the entire test(s).
