RSpec support on .Net with Gallio

jbell38 · May 17, 2009, 1:20am

Hi,
I’m getting ready to produce an RSpec adapter for use with the Gallio
test
automation platform (http://www.gallio.org/) on the .Net DLR via
IronRuby.

The idea is to open up RSpec to a wider audience of .Net developers who
might like to write their tests, ahem specs ;-), using a friendly
syntax
in a dynamically typed language such as Ruby.

Anyways, this is still a work in progress but I wanted to check on a
couple
of legal points:

Is it cool to redistribute RSpec in source code form for
non-commercial
purposes? I was unable to find the RSpec license to confirm. Gallio
itself
is open source and is distributed using the Apache License 2.0.
I would like to be able to identify the RSpec framework by way of an
icon
in Gallio. Unfortunately I was unable to locate an official logo.
Assuming
there is one, I’d like permission to include an RSpec icon in Gallio.
The
icon will be used in the following ways:

As a plugin icon when displaying a list of associated plugins.
As a preference icon when providing options for configuring associated
plugins.
As an installed feature icon when providing options for installing
associated plugins.
As a test framework icon when decribing the list of supported test
frameworks and when presenting a report about tests that have been run
specifically using that framework.

Do you have a suitable 16x16 and 32x32 icon file that I can use for this
purpose?

Thanks,
Jeff.

Excellent that’s what I wanted to hear.

There is not an official icon now, but there will be within the next
month or so. What is your time frame for releasing this adapter?
