Now with a full RSpec 2 test suite to demonstrate most of its features. Wiki to be updated with latest changes ASAP.
http://github.com/kristianmandrup/rspec_for_generators This gem makes it very easy to spec that your generator generates files as expected and also lets you easily verify that the content of those files match what you expect - name of the class - subclass of class - class includes specific modules - contains certain instance or class methods ... In general it has a lot of nice matchers to match on generated Ruby source code (using regexp) It also has a nice DSL to spec generated migration files in detail (see below) # spec generated model file it "should decorate an existing Account model file with include Canable:Ables" do with_generator do |g| name = 'account' create_model name g.run_generator [name] g.should generate_model name do |content| content.should have_class name do |klass| klass.should include_module 'Canable::Ables' end end end end # spec generated migration file g.should generate_migration name do |content| content.should have_migration name do |klass| klass.should have_up do |up| up.should have_create_table :users do |user_tbl| user_tbl.should have_columns :name => :string, :age => :string end end klass.should have_down do |up| up.should have_drop_table :users end end end # spec generated Active Record observer g.run_generator [name] g.should generate_observer name do |content| content.should have_observer_class name do |klass| klass.should have_method :observe_me end end and many more... _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
