This pull request introduces the ability to run specific sub-tests within the mandatory tests (m) for built-in commands (b). This provides more granular control over test execution, allowing students to focus on specific functionalities without running the entire suite.
Motivation:
Currently, running bash mstest m b executes all built-in tests. This can be time-consuming when focusing on a particular built-in command. The ability to specify sub-tests addresses this by allowing targeted testing, speeding up development and debugging.
Changes Proposed:
Documentation Update: The README file has been updated to describe the new sub-test functionality, including an example of how to use it with the echo builtin.
Script Modification: The core testing script (tester.sh) has been modified to parse and handle the sub-test argument. The case statement for "builtins" | "b" now includes logic to check for an additional argument and execute the corresponding test file.
