        alias ALIAS_UNIT_TEST=example param1 param2 param3
    }),
    "StdoutRegex": "([- _0-9a-zA-Z]+ => .*?\n)+",
    "StdoutType": "str",
    "PostBlock": ({
        !alias ALIAS_UNIT_TEST
    })
}

function: aliases {
    # Output the aliases in human readable format
    runtime: --aliases -> formap: name alias {
        $name -> sprintf: "%10s => ${esccli @alias}\n"
    } -> cast: str
}

test: run aliases

Detail

Report

test: report is only needed if config: test auto-report is set false. However test: run automatically enables auto-report.

When the report is generated, be it automatically or manually triggered, it flushes the table of pending reports.
