Welcome, Basic is simply a boilerplate Ruby app. It contains everything you need to get up and running with your own Ruby app.
RSpec and Cucumber are the testing frameworks of choice, and can all be run from Rake or from the command line.
bundle exec rake spec
bundle exec rake cucumber
This document describes how this simple boilerplate Ruby app is structured. It focusses on using the following gems:
- Bundler
- Rake
- Cucumber
- RSpec
##Running tests
One of the prerequisites was that the tests should be able to run from both the native cucumber and rspec commands as well as the rake task version. In order to get Cucumber to work within Rake the cucumber-rails gem generated codes was used and modified to work with this app.
###Cucumber configuration
Cucumber uses a configuration file located in config/cucumber.yml. This file contains various cucumber profiles depending on how you want it to run.
###RSpec configuration
Note that the RSpec options are set in a .rspec file. This file can be in your home directory e.g. ~/.rspec or your local application directory e.g. my_app/.rspec. Note that the local application .rspec file will take priority over the global one.
Put all your personal options into this file such as --color to use colour settings. For more details of options run:
rspec --help
Also look at how you can use Cucumber tags with continuous integration: http://blog.josephwilk.net/ruby/cucumber-tags-and-continuous-integration-oh-my.html
Enjoy...
- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
- Fork the project
- Start a feature/bugfix branch
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
