Create a full test

[kylef]

We should have a repo which is the result of pod-template which specific arguments. Then a test that runs though the same options and then does a diff on output.

Similar to https://github.com/QueryKit/mogenerator-template/blob/master/Makefile#L7-8. We don't need any complex ruby, simple diff does the job.

This should give us more visibility on the output and how it looks, and also allows us to know when we unintentionally break something.

I can work on this. I would create a repository that would become CocoaPods/pod-template-tests

It would include several folders like test-case-1-output/ that includes the full output of the test case. Also it would have test-case-1-input.txt which is a shell script or something.

How would we test this? Can we create a .travis.yml file in this pod-template repo which is related to testing the template, rather than templating the test?

This would have upstream breaking impact on cocoapods, is that ok?

The vendored end results can be done as a submodule in the pod-template repo, we have a tool for doing this in CocoaPods itself called CLIntegracon which will get you most of the way TBH. This is how it is run in CocoaPods

I don't think it would need any changes to the pod lib create command I think, as you could use command-line arguments for the questions / answers and create should send them already I think

Note: this is implemented in #179.

It uses Rake and runs a test suite of the vendoring process against expected outcomes.
