REQUIREMENTS:

INSTALL:

  • gem install rutema

Changes:

0.7.0 / 2008-05-16

  • Support for tools, paths and context information in the configuration
    solidified (http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/tool_configuration.html
    for more)
  • Changes in the configuration for Historian and ActiveRecordReporter.
    Check the distro_test samples
  • database connection code consolidated in db.rb
  • Added support for jdbc/h2 to work with jRuby
  • AR-reporter configuration expanded to support different adapters.
    Consistent with the Historian db configuration
  • rutema unit tests now run under jRuby
  • rutemah runs under jRuby

0.6.5 / 2008-04-15

  • Updated rutemaweb controller to work with ramaze 0.3.9.1

0.6.4 / 2008-03-30

  • Bugfix: duration SQL type adjusted in the model to return proper
    values.
  • Bugfix: name=step_type for TestStep so that name is assigned a value
    in the model step
  • Locked the Ramaze version to 0.3.5 until we find out why the new
    version breaks us

0.6.3 / 2008-03-26

  • Bugfix: specifying a .spec filename on the commandline did not work -
    Path expanded before changing directory.
  • Bugfix: running an attended .spec on it’s own was not possible -
    attended mode is now set for single runs.
  • Cleaned up the Runner’s log output

0.6.2 / 2008-03-12

  • Parsers derived from Rutema::SpecificationParser now receive the
    system configuration so that conventions like tools, paths and context
    can be used in element_ methods (this functionality fell through the
    cracks with the change in parser implementation)
  • rutemaweb now has proper commandline help and connects properly to the
    database

0.6.1 / 2008-02-28

  • ExtensibleXMLParser made more tolerant (no exceptions when an element
    cannot be handled)
  • Bug: Typo in the class name used in the exceptions fixed
  • Bugfix: ActiveRecord connection throws an exception that prevented
    Historian from establishing a new one. Fixed
  • More unit tests

0.6.0 / 2008-02-27

  • Added Rutema::ExtensibleXMLParser - this parser simplifies parser
    creation immensely. Check the documentation for details
  • “Howto create a parser v0.5.0” officially the fastest deprecation of a
    document ever. http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/parser.html is the new
    black.
  • Corrected some english spelling mistakes (hey, we’re not native
    speakers)
  • Fixed an issue with AR cached connections that interfered with unit
    tests
