Parameters:dynamic from a shell script

[jacobsalmela]

Is it possible to somehow use dynamic parameters called from a shell script?

test_spec.sh

Describe 'complex matrix from external commands'

Parameters:dynamic
  "$SHELLSPEC_HELPERDIR/support/dynamic_matrix.sh"
End

It "does thing --with-param $2"
  BeforeCall $1
  When call bin/thing --with-param $2
  The status should equal $2
  The line 1 of stdout should equal "something"
End

End

dynamic_matrix.sh

array1=("a1" "b1")
array2=("a2" "b2")
for i in "${array1[@]}"; do
  for j in "${array2[@]}"; do
    # get data from either array
    var_from_array1=$(echo "$i" | awk '{print $1}')
    var_from_array2=$(echo "$j" | awk '{print $1}')
    echo %data "$var_from_array1" "$var_from_array2"  
  done
done

It looks like it runs some tests, but fails:

%data a1 a2
%data a1 b2
%data b1 a2
%data b1 b2

Essentially, I want to feed the matrix with dynamic data from a script and then run several tasks.

Describe 'complex matrix from external commands'

Parameters:matrix
  foo bar
  for line in $(command --output); do
    %data $my $space $separated $output
  done
End

It "does thing --with-param $2"
  BeforeCall $1
  When call bin/thing --with-param $2
  The status should equal $2
  The line 1 of stdout should equal "something"
End

It "does more --with-param $3"
  When call bin/more --with-param $3
  The status should equal $2
End

End
