Infinity Test

Infinity Test is a continuous testing library and a flexible alternative to Autotest, using the awesome Watchr library with RSpec, Test::Unit, Bacon and with RVM functionality, giving the possibility to test with all Ruby versions that you have in your RVM configuration.

To Infinity and Beyond!

Install

gem install infinity_test

Running Tests with the current Ruby

With RSpec:

infinity_test --rspec

With Test::Unit:

infinity_test --test-unit

With Bacon:

infinity_test --bacon

Running Tests with multiple Rubies

With RSpec:

infinity_test --rspec --rubies=1.8.7,jruby,1.9.2,ree

Or with Test::Unit:

infinity_test --test-unit --rubies=1.8.7,jruby,ree,1.9.2

Or with bacon:

infinity_test --bacon --rubies=1.8.7,ree,1.9.2

You can pass arguments to specific versions of Ruby with a '+' character:

infinity_test --rspec --rubies=jruby+"J-cp bar/whisky-in-the.jar:."

Now you are ready to run your test suite against all Ruby versions with Autotest-like behavior.

Running Tests with Rails

infinity_test --rails

Configuration file

Simple Domain Specific Language for Infinity Test file

If you'd rather not constantly specify which versions of Ruby to use, or the testing framework to use, or which notifications you want to receive, you can specify those options one time in an .infinity_test file.

You can create this file in your $HOME directory to be used globally across all projects, or you can specify the options per-project in the project's root folder:

# ~/.infinity_test or .infinity_test

infinity_test do
  notifications :growl do
    show_images :mode => :mario_bros
  end

  use :rubies => %w(1.9.1 jruby 1.9.2 ree), :test_framework => :rspec

  use :specific_options => {'jruby' => 'J-cp bar/whisky-in-the.jar:.'}

  before(:each_ruby) do |environment|
    # ...
  end

  after(:each_ruby) do |environment|
    # ...
  end

  before_run do
    clear :terminal
  end

  after_run do
    # ...
  end

  heuristics('my_pattern') do |file|
    # ...
  end

  replace_patterns do |application|
    # ...
  end
end

Customize the .infinity_test file

If you want to customize and understand the .infinity_test file, read this page.

Color in Test::Unit

Use the gem minitest-colorize

Color in RSpec

Put this in your .rspec file:

In RSpec 2.2.0:

--color
--tty

In RSpec 2.1.0:

--color
--autotest

In RSpec 1.3, use the spec.opts file:

--color
--autospec

Note: These options will be the defaults in a future version of Infinity Test

Future

Add support for focus files (run failed results and then run all tests if those pass, etc.)
