Future Testing

PowerShell Testing (TODO)

Similar test suite should be created for PowerShell completion:

  • Generate completion script: ./app --completion-file-pwsh > completion.ps1
  • Create PowerShell version of test files
  • Document PowerShell-specific behaviors

Other Shells (Future)

  • Zsh completion testing
  • Fish shell completion testing
