Tork - test with fork

Tork runs your tests as they change, in parallel:

  1. Absorbs test execution overhead into a master process.

  2. Forks to inherit overhead and run test files in parallel.

  3. Avoids running unchanged tests inside changed test files.

Version 19.0.0 (2012-10-17)

Major:

  • The .tork.rb configuration file has been replaced by the .tork/
    directory, which contains specially-named Ruby scripts. Refer to
    the
    TORK_CONFIGS environment variable in tork(1) for more information.

  • The Tork::Config object has been replaced by various data
    structures in
    the Tork:: namespace. See the “FILES” sections in the manual
    pages of
    tork programs for information on the data structures that replaced
    it.

  • Tork::Config.test_event_hooks has been removed. Instead, you must
    now
    monitor the STDOUT of tork-master(1) or tork-engine(1) either
    directly
    or indirectly, via tork-remote(1), and react to their status
    messages.
    See the tork-notify(1) program for an example of how to implement
    this.

  • tork(1): ‘t’ now runs a specified test, whereas ‘a’ runs all tests.

  • tork-engine(1): the run_test_file command now takes line numbers
    as a
    variable-length list of arguments (varargs) rather than as an array.

  • tork-engine(1): the run_test_file command now runs an entire test
    file
    when zero is given as one of the line numbers to be run.

  • tork-master(1): the load command is no longer accepted. Instead,
    you
    must specify load paths and overhead files in the .tork/master.rb
    file.

  • The TORK_CONFIGS env-var is now a colon delimited list of
    directories.

  • The tork/client library has been removed. The threaded IO and
    popen()
    wrappers that it provided have been replaced by the powerful
    IO.select().

Minor:

  • tork(1): allow user to specify arguments after command key

  • tork(1): add ‘k’ to stop all currently running tests with SIGKILL

  • add tork-remote(1) to remotely control any tork program. This
    feature is
    made possible by the awesome power of IO.select() and UNIX domain
    sockets.

  • add tork-notify(1) as example of using tork-remote(1) and
    tork-engine(1)

  • tork-engine(1): add ["run_test_files"] command to run multiple
    files

  • tork-engine(1): emit edge-triggered pass_now_fail and
    fail_now_pass
    events to notify you about changes in a test file’s pass/fail
    status.

  • typing Control-D now breaks tork programs out of
    Tork::Server#loop()

Patch:

  • tork-master(1): stop workers with SIGKILL when quitting

Other:

  • tork(1): document parameters for t and s commands

  • README: add tip about rlwrap for better interactive

  • README: simplify watch command using pgrep & xargs

  • README: use standard bundle exec; no --binstubs
