autowatchr¶ ↑

Fork of viking’s autowatchr library (github.com/viking/autowatchr) to fix issues and add features. Provides some autotest-like behavior for watchr (github.com/mynyml/watchr).

gem install harmon-autowatchr

• Auto-watches test and lib files using the autotest layout

• Optionally run only failing-tests

• Optionally run entire suite after all tests pass

• Traps INT signal (Control-C) and re-runs all tests.

• Cucumber support

• Expose algorithm to map test classes to test files

test.watchr

require 'autowatchr'

Autowatchr.new(self) do |config|
  config.ruby = 'jruby'
  config.lib_dir = 'leet_lib'
  config.test_dir = 'leet_test'
end

• command

  • An ERB template for the command

  • Default: "<%= ruby %> -I<%= include %> <% list_of_requires.each { |lib| %>-r<%= lib %> <% } %><%= predicate %>"

• ruby

  • The ruby executable to use

  • Default: "ruby"

• run_method

  • The way the ruby files are “require”-ed.

  • Two options:

    • :require => ruby -e "%w[test/first_test.rb test/second_test.rb].each { |file| require file }"

    • :load => ruby -e "%w[test/first_test.rb test/second_test.rb].each { |file| load file }"

  • Default: :require

  • It is advised to use :load when running tests in Rails since that is what “rake test” uses.

• include

  • Paths to include (with -I)

  • Default: ".:#{self.lib_dir}:#{self.test_dir}"

• require

  • Libraries to include (with -r)

  • Can either be a string or an array (Ex: config.require = %w{rubygems active_support})

  • Default: nil

• lib_dir

  • The lib path, where your library lives

  • Default: "lib"

• test_dir

  • The test path, where your tests live

  • Default: "test"

• lib_re

  • The regexp to use for discovering library files

  • Default: '^%s./.\.rb$' % self.lib_dir

• test_re

  • The regexp to use for discovering library files

  • Default: '^%s./test_.\.rb$' % self.test_dir

• failing_only

  • Run only failing tests the next time a test file is run

  • Default: true

• run_suite

  • Run entire test suite after failing tests pass

  • Default: true

All of the config options are optional. You can also pass in a hash instead of a block. Also see: test.watchr.
