This PR adds an `--update` flag to the `tree-sitter test` command, which adds the ability to replace the _expected_ output in the corpus.txt with the _actual_ output produced by the parser, that is, we can now simply use this `--update` flag to write all the corresponding parser output back to the corpus.txt, and we just need to check the output without typing its actual sexp. - use the same output format as `tree-sitter parse`, except there won't be any position information printed. - the corpus.txt won't be touched if there's no difference between the _expected_ output and the _actual_ output in that file. - if there're differences between _expected_ and _actual_, _expected_ will be replaced by _actual_ and the whole file will be reformatted, i.e., all the output sexp will be formatted just like the output from `tree-sitter parse` and all the delimiters `===`/`---` will be normalized as 80-column long. - this flag also works with `--filter` flag. |

Tree-sitter CLI
The Tree-sitter CLI allows you to develop, test, and use Tree-sitter grammars from the command line. It works on MacOS, Linux, and Windows.
Installation
You can install the tree-sitter-cli with cargo:
cargo install tree-sitter-cli
or with npm:
npm install tree-sitter-cli
You can also download a pre-built binary for your platform from the releases page.
Dependencies
The tree-sitter binary itself has no dependencies, but specific commands have dependencies that must be present at runtime:
- To generate a parser from a grammar, you must have
nodeon your PATH. - To run and test parsers, you must have a C and C++ compiler on your system.
Commands
-
generate- Thetree-sitter generatecommand will generate a Tree-sitter parser based on the grammar in the current working directory. See the documentation for more information. -
test- Thetree-sitter testcommand will run the unit tests for the Tree-sitter parser in the current working directory. See the documentation for more information. -
parse- Thetree-sitter parsecommand will parse a file (or list of file) using Tree-sitter parsers.
