testecho

testecho is a program to assist test cases which assert the subject starts and ends processes as expected. Its flags allow selection of stdout, stderr, exit code, etc.

The testecho package provides functions to more easily run the CLI from test cases.

To install: go get -v github.com/codeactual/testecho/cmd/testecho
