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

> <https://github.com/zena/zena/blob/3e81845038343c779394aeb4eb1cf890e08a260c/lib/parser/test/parser/zafu.yml>

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/”
