Release 0.39.0

Tuesday, June 9, 2026

New features

Install and run in one Action step

The GitHub Action gained an args input: when set, it runs bashunit <args> right after installing, so a single step both installs the framework and runs your suite:

- uses: TypedDevs/bashunit@v0
  with:
    args: 'tests/ --parallel'

Pin the Action by major with v0

The release process now force-moves a floating v0 tag to each release, so workflows can pin TypedDevs/bashunit@v0 and automatically track the latest release within the major (#700).

Scaffold a CI workflow on init

bashunit init now scaffolds a .github/workflows/tests.yml that uses the official action, giving new projects working CI out of the box. Existing files are left untouched (#702).

--report-junit alias

--report-junit <file> is now an alias of --log-junit, for naming parity with --report-html (#705).

Changes

• The Action's version input now defaults to the version pinned at the action ref instead of latest, so pinning the action by SHA also pins a visible bashunit version.
• install.sh now verifies the release checksum by default. Set BASHUNIT_VERIFY_CHECKSUM=false to opt out; it soft-skips with a warning when a checksum asset is unavailable unless verification was explicitly requested (#703).
• --log-gha annotations now include the failing test's line (::error file=…,line=…), so they pin to the exact line in a pull request's "Files changed" tab (#704).

Patch 0.39.1

A follow-up fix: bashunit upgrade was resolving the floating v0 Action tag as the latest version, which broke upgrades. It now only considers exact-version tags. See the 0.39.1 changelog.
