spawn test expect

Usage

spawn test expect <name>

Runs a test and saves its output as the new expected result for future comparisons.

Arguments

• <name> — The test directory name

Behavior

1. Runs the specified test
2. Captures the output
3. Writes it to tests/<name>/expected

Use this command when test behavior changes intentionally and you want to update the baseline for spawn test compare.

Secrets

test expect always masks secret() values so real secrets cannot be written into the saved expected file. See the Secrets guide for details.

Example

spawn test expect user-creation
