In netbeans auto test feature works well with rails projects but fails with simple ruby projects.
ZenTest has very strange heuristics for non rails projects:
- Test files must be stored in the
test directory - Implementation files must be stored in the
lib directory - Test files names must start with
test_ - Test class names must start with
Test - Test files corresponding to a specific implementation file must be named
test_name of implementation file>.rb
Active* libraries and many others have different convention for naming test files and classes:
- Test files must be stored in the
test directory - Implementation files must be stored in the
lib directory - Test files names must end with
_test - Test class names must end with
Test - Test files corresponding to a specific implementation file must be named
name of implementation file>_test.rb
Moreover netbeans use this convention to find testing file and test for specific file (rclick->navigate->go to test/go to tested file).
So if I have project with following layout:
lib
--example
----some_class.rb
test
--example
----some_class_test.rb
Autotest gives me:
Dunno! nbproject/private/rake-t.txt
Dunno! lib/example/some_class.rb
Dunno! README
Dunno! lib/main.rb
Dunno! Rakefile
Dunno! nbproject/project.xml
Dunno! nbproject/project.properties
Dunno! test/example/some_class_test.rb
So autotest simply doesn't work with this test naming convention by default.
Lucky for us ZenTest have
hooks mechanism that allows to change default behavior.
So I wrote .autotest file and put it in project directory:
lib
--example
----some_class.rb
test
--example
----some_class_test.rb
.autotest
.autotest
contents:
Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |at|
at.clear_mappings
at.add_mapping(/^lib\/(.*)\.rb$/) do |f, m|
at.files_matching(/^test\/#{m[1]}_test\.rb$/)
end
at.add_mapping(/^test\/(.*)_test\.rb$/) do |f, m|
at.files_matching(/^test\/#{m[1]}_test\.rb$/)
end
end
class Autotest
def path_to_classname(s)
sep = File::SEPARATOR
f = s.sub(/^test#{sep}((unit|functional|\
integration|views|\
controllers|helpers)\
#{sep})?/, '').sub(/\.rb$/, '').split(sep)
f = f.map { |path| path.split(/_/).map { |seg|
seg.capitalize }.join }
res = f.join('::')
res
end
end
Теперь это выглядит так:
So I edit any class and autotest it! It very cool feature to have. Thanks for zentest authors.
I hope this post will help anyone.
