This code is not in a usable state yet, contributions welcome!

This project will some time in the future provide a simple way of distributing Cucumber features across machines and collect the results.

You need to have an AMQP broker (like RabbitMQ) installed and running:

$ brew install rabbitmq
$ ruby -rubygems bin/cukeq setup
$ rabbitmq-server

If you want to use CukeQ with Subversion, you’ll need to install the Ruby bindings:

$ sudo apt-get install libsvn-ruby

$ cukeq master --broker URI --report-to URI --scm URI
$ cukeq slave --broker URI

1. REST service to trigger runs, payload:

{:features => ["file:line", "file:line", ...]}

1. Update from SCM.

2. Call Cucumber to get «exploded scenarios» (JSON) - (shell out to cucumber with custom formatter + –dry-run ??).

3. Create JSON payload

[
  {
    :run_id => id,
    :scm    => {:revision => 1234, :url => "git://..."}
    :exploded_scenario => ast(?)
  },
...
]

1. Put payload on jobs queue.

2. Pull step result from result queue.

3. POST step result to –report-to URL, and/or let several reporters register themselves with the Master webapp (webhookish)

1. Pull job from job queue.

2. If job revision != last revision

   * Update/checkout from SCM.
   * Restart Cucumber process with updated code files.

3. Invoke steps (through wire protocol?)

4. Put step/scenario/unit (undecided) result on result queue.

• All parsing is done on the master - the slave shouldn’t have to parse .feature files.

• The slave should be able to invoke cucumber steps implemented in any of the supported languages

• Need a (separate?) webapp to select which features to run and show the results as the step results come in. (a –report-to recipient)

• Should also be able to trigger runs from command line (‘cukeq-runner file:line file:line`, prints `app/runs/«run id»`)

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
