Mummy

Mummy makes it easy to test yourself for tests and exams. Just like your mum did back when you were younger.

Install the gem (Ruby 2.0.0 and later only):

$ gem install mummy

Then, run mummy with a path to a file to run your test from:

$ mummy GV101/Democracy.txt
$ mummy GV100/Plato.md --markdown-heading-level 1

You can write your tests in Markdown (.md) and plain-text (.txt) files. Mummy will detect the right parser to use based on the file type, but you can specify this yourself with a --parser command line argument (e.g. --parser markdown or --parser text).

If you're using a text file, just separate the terms you want to be tested on with line breaks.

If you're using Markdown, prefix the terms to be tested on with ## (i.e. write them as second-level headings). You can change the heading level you want to look for from the default of H2 (##) by specifying a --markdown-heading-level command line option (e.g. --markdown-heading-level 1 will look for lines starting with one "#").

Mummy will read the terms back to you in random order. Hit enter to move onto the next one, or enter an asterisk (*) before hitting enter if you want to run by that term again at the end.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
