Re: [MacRuby-devel] Unit testing in Xcode
No definitely not. This is Ruby, so we can do better ;-)
I have not yet finished porting Rucola to MacRuby, as of yet MacRuby
is not mature enough to run some code we have on RubyCocoa yet.
However, the port process was started, especially on our test case
helper, so this might currently work good enough for you.
The current test case code is in:
http://github.com/alloy/rucola/blob/macruby/lib/rucola/test_case.rb
If you'd like to add test/spec to the mix, there were some extra
workarounds needed (not sure if it's still the case with test-spec
0.10): http://github.com/alloy/rucola/blob/macruby/lib/rucola/test_spec.rb
For an example of a controller test see:
http://github.com/alloy/webapp-app/blob/34e270667f34046bdf3379cd124788825dd59e8b/WebAppGenerator/test/controllers/test_application_controller.rb
And a model test:
http://github.com/alloy/webapp-app/blob/34e270667f34046bdf3379cd124788825dd59e8b/WebAppGenerator/test/models/test_web_app_bundle.rb
Note that test/spec wraps around regular old test/unit. Example:
describe "Foo" do
it "should exist" do
lambda { Foo }.should.not.raise NameError
end
end
Is the equivalent of:
class FooTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_foo_exists
assert_not_raise(NameError) { Foo }
end
end
I'm sure it can be hard to understand some parts, so let me know when
in doubt.

Xcode is making me miss the days I could just append a TestCase
instance with TextMate and hit command-r.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Unit testing in Xcode
Brian Marick has a good chapter on testing in his "RubyCocoa, bringing some love. " using standard ruby testing methodologies. You can get this as a pdf book (its not out in print yet) (I am in no way affiliated to Brian, Aaron and the other Cocoa/Ruby authors i mention on this list - my apologies if it seems so).
