Fix Test

Systematically debug and fix failing test(s).

Workflow

1. Identify Failures

./bashunit tests/ 2>&1

Parse: which files, which functions, error messages.

2. Categorize Each Failure

Test bug — test itself is wrong (wrong expected value, bad setup)
Implementation bug — code doesn't match expected behavior
Environment issue — missing dependency, wrong fixture path
Race condition — passes sequential, fails parallel
Flaky test — network/time/random dependency

3. Fix

Test bug: correct assertion or setup
Implementation bug: minimal fix in
```
src/
```
, follow TDD
Environment: fix
```
set_up
```
/ fixtures
Race condition: use
```
$temp_dir
```
for isolation,
```
wait
```
for async
Flaky: mock external dependencies

4. Verify

./bashunit path/to/fixed_test.sh        # Specific test
./bashunit tests/                        # Full suite
./bashunit --parallel tests/             # Isolation check

5. Prevent Regression

Document root cause. Consider adding edge case tests to prevent recurrence.

Debugging Tips

Use
```
--filter "test_name"
```
to run single test
Add
```
echo "DEBUG: $var" >&2
```
temporarily
Check fixtures exist:
```
ls tests/fixtures/
```
Verify mocks:
```
assert_have_been_called mock_name
```
