Before:
  Save &shell, g:ale_run_synchronously
  let g:ale_run_synchronously = 1

  if !has('win32')
    set shell=/bin/sh
  endif

  let g:linter_output = []

  let g:second_echo_called = 0
  let g:final_callback_called = 0

  function! CollectResults(buffer, output)
    let g:final_callback_called = 1
    let g:linter_output = map(copy(a:output), 'join(split(v:val))')
    return []
  endfunction
  function! RunFirstEcho(buffer)
    let g:first_echo_called = 1

    return 'echo foo'
  endfunction

    let g:second_echo_called = 1

    return 'echo bar'
  endfunction

  call ale#linter#Define('foobar', {

After:
  Restore

  unlet! g:second_echo_called
  unlet! g:final_callback_called
  unlet! g:linter_output
  let g:ale_buffer_info = {}
  call ale#linter#Reset()
  delfunction CollectResults
  delfunction RunFirstEcho
  delfunction RunSecondEcho

Given foobar (Some imaginary filetype):
  anything

Execute(Check the results of running the chain):
  AssertEqual 'foobar', &filetype
  call ale#Queue(0)

  Assert g:first_echo_called, 'The first chain item was not called'
  Assert g:second_echo_called, 'The second chain item was not called'
  Assert g:final_callback_called, 'The final callback was not called'
  AssertEqual ['bar'], g:linter_output
