For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
RSpec - Ruby testing (stand alone example / no cucumber)

RSpec can be used as a stand alone test environment for your Ruby program, as well as being used within Gherkin and Cucumber (see [here] for some details of that).

Installation as a Ruby Gem (you may need admin permissions):
  gem install rspec

Run your program under the new executable rspec ... on Linux / Unix / OS X start your file with
  #!/usr/bin/env rspec

Load the code to be tested - perhaps this class
  class StringChanger
    def reverse_and_save(string_to_reverse)
      string_to_reverse.reverse
    end
  end


and describe the test

  describe StringChanger do
    it 'reverses strings' do
      string_changer = StringChanger.new
      reversed_string = string_changer.reverse_and_save('example from Well House')
      expect(reversed_string).to eq 'esuoH lleW morf elpmaxe'
      end
  end


run it

  WomanWithCat:rspec grahamellis$ ./rs001
  .
  
  Finished in 0.00073 seconds (files took 0.09143 seconds to load)
  1 example, 0 failures
  
  WomanWithCat:rspec grahamellis$


and see that the tests have passed.

Next lessons - multiple tests, what happens when a test fails, other tests ...

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
