# Test Generator — Multi-Purpose Utility Tool

A general-purpose CLI utility tool for data entry, management, and retrieval. Provides commands to run tasks, configure settings, check status, initialize the workspace, list/add/remove/search entries, export data, and view system info — all from the terminal.

Command Reference

The script (`test-generator`) supports the following commands via its case dispatch:

| Command | Description | Example Output |

|---------|-------------|----------------|

| `run <arg>` | Execute the main function with a given argument | `Running: <arg>` |

| `config` | Show configuration file path | `Config: $DATA_DIR/config.json` |

| `status` | Display current operational status | `Status: ready` |

| `init` | Initialize the data directory and workspace | `Initialized in $DATA_DIR` |

| `list` | List all entries from the data log | Prints contents of `data.log` or `(empty)` |

| `add <text>` | Add a new timestamped entry to the data log | `Added: <text>` |

| `remove <id>` | Remove an entry from the data log | `Removed: <id>` |

| `search <term>` | Search entries in the data log (case-insensitive) | Matching lines or `Not found: <term>` |

| `export` | Export all data log contents to stdout | Full contents of `data.log` |

| `info` | Show version and data directory path | `Version: 2.0.0 \| Data: $DATA_DIR` |

| `help` | Show full help text with all commands | — |

| `version` | Print version string | `test-generator v2.0.0` |

Data Storage

Requirements

When to Use

1. **Quick data logging** — Need to record notes, test results, or observations from the command line? Use `test-generator add "your note here"` for instant timestamped logging.

2. **Simple searchable notebook** — Accumulated entries can be searched with `test-generator search <term>`, making it a lightweight grep-able journal for tracking test runs or results.

3. **Data export for pipelines** — Use `test-generator export` to pipe all logged data into downstream tools or redirect to a file for reporting.

4. **System status checks in scripts** — `test-generator status` provides a quick health-check output suitable for CI/CD monitoring scripts or cron jobs.

5. **Workspace initialization** — Run `test-generator init` when setting up a new machine or environment to bootstrap the data directory structure.

Examples

Initialize the workspace

test-generator init
# Output: Initialized in /home/user/.local/share/test-generator

Add entries

test-generator add "Unit test suite passed - 47 tests, 0 failures"
# Output: Added: Unit test suite passed - 47 tests, 0 failures

test-generator add "Integration test: API endpoint /users returned 200"
# Output: Added: Integration test: API endpoint /users returned 200

List all entries

test-generator list
# Output:
# 2026-03-18 Unit test suite passed - 47 tests, 0 failures
# 2026-03-18 Integration test: API endpoint /users returned 200

Search entries

test-generator search "API"
# Output: 2026-03-18 Integration test: API endpoint /users returned 200

Check status and info

test-generator status
# Output: Status: ready

test-generator info
# Output: Version: 2.0.0 | Data: /home/user/.local/share/test-generator

Configuration

Set the `TEST_GENERATOR_DIR` environment variable to change the data directory:

export TEST_GENERATOR_DIR="/path/to/custom/dir"

Default: `~/.local/share/test-generator/`
