[ANN] yamltest 0.5.0 Released

gazoduc · January 22, 2009, 4:28pm

This is the first release for yamltest, freshly extracted from zena, a
rails CMS (http://zenadmin.org).

yamltest

yamltest is a simple helper to write parts of your unit tests using
yaml. For a real world example of such tests, please have a look at zafu
parser (currently in zena but soon as a separate gem too) :

github.com

zena/zena/blob/3e81845038343c779394aeb4eb1cf890e08a260c/lib/parser/test/parser/zafu.yml

empty:
  src: ""
  res: ""

hello:
  src: "<r:hello/>"
  res: "hello world!"
  
double_hello:
  src: "<r:hello/> <r:hello/>"
  res: "hello world! hello world!"

ignore_html:
  src: "<div class='test'><p>some <i>funny</i> text</p></div>"
  res: "<div class='test'><p>some <i>funny</i> text</p></div>"

ignore_tag:
  src: "there is <li do='ignore'>delete me</li>nothing"
  res: "there is nothing"

Basically yamltest writes tests for you. You define them in a YAML file:

capitalize_should_work:
src: “london”
res: “London”

You can also use a context that will be passed to your “yt_parse”
method. Or format your different result keys (‘sql’, ‘res’, ‘tem’,
whatever) as a regular expression:

template_should_contain_node
src: “<%= show_node %>”
tem: “/node/”
