term-transcript CLI

This crate provides command-line interface for [term-transcript]. It allows capturing terminal output to SVG and testing the captured snapshots.

Usage

• The capture subcommand captures output from stdin, renders it to SVG and outputs SVG to stdout.
• The exec subcommand executes one or more commands in the shell, captures their outputs, renders to an SVG image and outputs it to stdout.
• The test subcommand allows testing snapshots from the command line.
• The print subcommand parses an SVG snapshot and outputs it to the command line.

Launch the CLI with the --help option for more details about arguments for each subcommand.

Examples

This example creates a snapshot of the rainbow script and then tests it.

The snapshot itself is tested, too! It also shows that SVG output by the program is editable; in the snapshot, this is used to highlight command-line args and to change color of comments in the user inputs.

The test command can compare colors as well:

Another snapshot created by capturing help output from a pseudo-terminal (the --pty flag):

Using PTY enables coloring output by default and formatting dependent on the terminal size.
