    Notes on slide 1

    Abstract: You can write a small Ruby library in only a few lines. But then it grows, it expands and then it starts to break and become a maintenance nightmare. Since its open source you just stop working on it. Users complain that the project has been abandoned. Your project ends up causing more grief for everyone than if you'd never written it at all.

    Instead, we will learn to write all Ruby libraries, RubyGems with tests.

    This session is NOT about \"how to do TDD\". More importantly this session will teach you:

    * the one command you should run before starting any new Ruby project

    * the best way to write tests for command-line apps, Rake tasks and other difficult to test code

    * how to do Continuous Integration of your Ruby/Rails libraries with runcoderun.com

    Once you know how to write tests for all Ruby code, you'll want to do it for even the smallest little libraries and have the confidence to know your code always works.

    JAOO.au 2008 had no Ruby talks. It had an F# talk but no Ruby talks. There were Ruby groups all around Australia. Perhaps there are secret F# clubs I don’t know about.

    But this year we have a whole afternoon of Ruby mixed in with the rest of the awesomeness within this conference.


    Since we’re at JAOO, we want to track conversations on twitter about JAOO.

    Since we’re nerds, let’s pull these into to the command line and print them out.

    Perhaps we’ll also add a “tail” feature to sit there watching for new tweets as they come along.

    A twitter terminal client. Very nerdy. Very JAOO.

    This would be our sample (truncated) output from the previous example page.

    It will then sit there pulling down search results and printing new search results when they appear.

    We’ll use Ctrl-C to cancel.

    ‘newgem’ is the one command you should run before starting any new Ruby project or Rails plugin.



    And we have a working command line application!

    In agile development we describe a user story. What is it that the user wants from our software system? And what is the value to them for it.


    story_text is the content from the “Basic user story” slide



    If this search query is called then the contents of the fixtures fill will be returned.

    If this search query is called then the contents of the fixtures fill will be returned.

    Save a real copy of actual data from the target feed into your project.

    This wires fakeweb into cucumber and asks it to throw errors if we ever ask for remote content that hasn’t been setup via FakeWeb.request_uri

    So when we run our feature scenarios again we just get the error.

    Why? We haven’t written any code yet; but we’ve finished setting up our integration test.

    Ben Mabey took 137 slides to discuss when and why to start with Cucumber and then progress to unit tests of sections of your code.

    Somewhere in our solution code we call out to the json feed, parse the JSON, and print out the results.

    If I disable my internet and run my tests then I should definitely see fakeweb coming into effect. But it doesn’t. Bugger.

    This is because “When I run local executable...” invokes the executable in new Ruby process. It knows nothing about fakeweb.

    This is the default implementation of “run local executable”. We actually make a pure external system call to run the app, just like a user.

    If you do need to stub out something - a remote service, change the clock, speed things up, then its a lot easier to do it within the same Ruby process.

    So we’ll break up our integration test: 1 sanity check to test that the bin/tweettail executable is wired up correctly and pulls down some twitter data.

    The rest of our integration tests will invoke the library code directly within the same Ruby process.

    The rest of our integration tests will invoke the library code directly within the same Ruby process.

    There is a very thin wrapper around the library code which was auto-generated. This helps you trust that it should “Just Work”. So let’s just test the final part instead to test the ultimate result

    Original version that we couldn’t fake out the remote data...

    New version where we can.

    The first scenario is a thin sanity check: does our app actually pull down the twitter search data feed and print out some message. We have no idea what it will print out, just the structure.

    The second and all subsequent scenarios will start testing our executable within the ruby runtime, so we can stub out the remote HTTP calls.

    Now we go and write some code, install the gem locally, and run it.

    New version where we can.

    The first scenario is a thin sanity check: does our app actually pull down the twitter search data feed and print out some message. We have no idea what it will print out, just the structure.

    The second and all subsequent scenarios will start testing our executable within the ruby runtime, so we can stub out the remote HTTP calls.

    If you’ve used cucumber with rails you’ll have seen the provided steps for webrat like “When I follow ‘link’” and “When I select ‘some drop down’”. If you use the cucumber in a RubyGem you get many provided step definitions too.

    The basic relationship between then is STDOUT and the file system. Do something which prints to STDOUT or modifies the file system, and then test the output or files.

    To explore how this is happening, let’s look at it in reverse. When we want to test the STDOUT, we need to be able to view and explore it. So we’re reading the STDOUT from previous steps from a file. The file name is stored in @stdout.

    The reason I store STDOUT into files is so that when a scenario fails, I can easily peruse each generated STDOUT file and look at what was output myself. If I just kept STDOUT in memory between steps then I’d lose that.

    It is all the When steps that run commands or rake tasks or generators, which in turn creates new files and prints things out to STDOUT.

    We run each of these commands from an external system command, just like the user would do, and then store the STDOUT to a file. Its file name is always stored in @stdout.

    If we’re saving STDOUT to files, if we’re testing generators or other applications or libraries that create new files, where is a safe place to do that?

    All scenarios get a “safe folder”. You get a tmp folder within your project source folder.

    You even get a fake HOME folder and the $HOME env variable wired to it, incase your application wants to manipulate dot files or other content within a user’s home folder.


    Let’s write a scenario first for the -f option

    The aim is to only very vaguely care about “how the hell am I going to implement ‘the sleep period has elapsed’

    Let’s drive development now. First, adding a -f option.

    We’ll need some more sample data from twitter. Here’s what the JSON might look like on a subsequent call to the API. The since_id value in the file name comes from the original sample JSON data - the refresh_url value.

    Now wire in that sample file using fakeweb. This step is used by all the scenarios. If the refresh urls are never called by the application, the fakeweb stubbing doesn’t care.

    So we’ve cleared the way to test the polling mechanism.

    But as I read this scenario, I can’t think of a way to run the app “a little bit” get its output, then continue, get its output, etc.

    So we refactor our scenario to represent something we _can_ test. Its still a nice, readable scenario. In fact its even shorter than before. Extra win!

    So our fancy new executable runner step still calls the same step as before; but first it hijacks the sleep() method; ultimately raising an Interrupt.

    We’re using mocha here to stub out #sleep.

    By default mocha’s setup and verification steps aren’t installed as we’re all used to in test/unit and rspec. In cucumber we need to explicitly set this up. So I put this code in its own support file.

    Once we go and write some code that continually loops and sleeps and loops and sleeps, our scenario will pass. Of course we’ll write some unit tests within this process too.

    I didn’t show much of the application code because that’s just a bit boring. Its all here on github. And the slides for this presentation, so that you can find the github url will be on slideshare. And a link to the slides on slideshare will be posted on my @drnic twitter account. You can’t _not_ find this code.

    Its nice if the default rake task runs all your tests. Since we have unit tests and cucumber scenarios, add this line to your rakefile. Now “rake” will run both.

    This turns out to be very useful when we turn on Continuous Integration.

    So let’s set up simple continuous integration. That way, each time we commit some new code, it will automatically trigger all your tests to be run.

    Click edit.

    Click “Service Hooks”



    The final step on github is to press the Test Hook link. But first, you’ll need to go

    So there’s an epilogue to this story and this application. The moment I finished, flush with confidence that my integration-test-driven application was working, I pushed the gem to rubyforge and then announced it on twitter. Within minutes I got a bug report.

    So testing still isn’t a holy grail. An idiot software developer can’t change his spots apparently.

    For more generic information about Cucumber, start at its home page, watch some videos, etc.

    To learn more about testing RubyGems, read other people’s gems. Read the newgem code base which self-tests with its own helpers.

    And if you have any questions about anything, you can attempt to get help by contacting me.
