autotest-gem

This gem exists to allow autotest to recognize gems and test them appropriately. This probably isn’t necessary for any gems with rspecs.

This defines an autotest/discover style called gem. It’s pretty simple: files in lib get matched to files in test.

This should work with machinist, and factory-girl.

Mappings:

  • lib/something.rb maps to test/something_test.rb

  • lib/somemodule/something.rb maps to test/somemodule_something_test.rb

  • test/factories/thing_factory.rb maps to test/thing_test.rb

  • test/fixtures/*, test/factories.rb, test/blueprints.rb, test/test_helper.rb all cause all tests to be redone.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
