Decoct: Quick start Sinatra with Rspec

Decoct is a simple gem that creates a sinatra app directory structure and hooks it up with Rspec. (This project is no longer developed. Have a look at Padrino, if you are looking for something similar and better.)

Install the gem: sudo gem install decoct (on Mac)

The gem depends on the following libraries:

• rspec
• ZenTest
• redgreen
• rcov

Assuming that you have installed the gem. Use the command line and go to the directory where you would like to create the new project and run the following command:

decoct {project-name}

This would create a sinatra project with all the rspec dependencies. If a directory with the same name exists it will overwrite it. Just go into the directory on your command line and run the following command:

RSPEC=true autotest

In order to run the test, please do ruby -rubygems test/decoct/ts_script.rb which makes the test independent of rubygems.
