Text Spec

An RSpec DSL and Cucumber steps to test SMS interactions with your Ruby on Rails application.

Currently this gem only supports testing SMS messageing using the twilio-ruby gem.

Setup

Add the text_spec gem to your Gemfile:


group :test do
  gem 'text_spec'
end

RSpec

In your spec_helper.rb file add the following:


require 'text_spec'

If you want to have the helpers available in all of your example groups, you can add the following to your spec_helper.rb:


Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
  config.include(TextSpec::Helpers)
  config.include(TextSpec::Matchers)
end

Otherwise you will have to incliude the helpers and matchers in any example where you use them:


describe "MyController" do
  include TextSpec::Helpers
  include TextSpec::Matchers
end

Cucumber

Add the folloing to you env.rb file:


require 'text_spec'
require 'text_spec/cucumber'

This loads the text_spec RSpec helpers into your cucumber wold. Then, run the following to generate the text_messsage_steps.rb file:


rails generate text_spec:steps
