Add initial plugin output test #149

Closed atc0005 closed 2 years ago

I hesitate to call this a true End to End (e2e) test, but this initial test configures an ExitState value as client code in the wild currently does and then asserts that the output matches the contents of a carefully crafted testdata file.

NOTE:

This test adds a dependency on the popular github.com/google/go-cmp testing package.

Because future tests are planned which will also use this package, adding the dependency (only for tests) is deemed to be worth the "cost" of adding an external dependency (again, just for tests).
