Separate stdout and stderr from the run output

[Marthym]

Put all tested method output in the same variable is an alteration of the real method result. For exemple :

testedMethod() {
  echo "the result"
  (>&2 echo "some log informations")
  return 0
}
value=$(testedMethod)

value contain only "the result" and when I use it in a script I'm only interested in "the result". But it's not possible to assert only the stdout. It should be possible to assert separatly stdout and stderr.

That's why I propose this update. In order to keep compatibility I juste add variables :

• stdout: Only the stdout output
• stderr: Only the stderr output
• stdlines: stdout by line
• errlines: stderr by line
• output: Contain stdout+stderr concatenated

Good to know. What a pity it's not explicitly mentioned at the very beginning of the README.

Thank you @xmik

There are already at least 2 PRs trying to accomplish just that (to update README): https://github.com/sstephenson/bats/pull/248 and https://github.com/sstephenson/bats/pull/269 but no success so far
