Toward MSpec

Ruby IronRuby
1

Just the end of the week update. I haven’t been as active these last
few
months due to Cleveland Day of .NET planning, but that’s this Saturday
so
hopefully soon I can get back in full swing. Right now I’m playing with
getting MSpec (the RubySpec runner), running under IronRuby. The major
hurdle right now seems to be that catch/throw isn’t implemented. Bug
#19888
was also an issue, which I submitted a patch for today.

I made it this far :slight_smile:

C:\Mike\VS08Proj\IronRuby\trunk\build\debug>ir -D
“c:\Mike\Dev\rubyspec\mspec\bin\mspec” -h
mspec [COMMAND] [options] (FILE|DIRECTORY|GLOB)+

The mspec command sets up and invokes the sub-commands
(see below) to enable, for instance, running the specs
with different implementations like ruby, jruby, rbx, etc.

I produced a pretty naive implementation of catch/throw that seems
pretty
functional for the moment, I think the sticking point now is regex’s
actually…

I’ve actually already got Optparse and MSpec working. That’s the new
spec runner that I’m almost ready to commit. I sent it through our
internal checkin troll tonight, and if all goes well I will send a code
review first thing Monday if not sooner.

I would like to see your catch parse implementation and any other
patches to the mspec runner you have.

Thanks,

Jim D

I haven’t patched MSpec at all, the catch/throw is extremely naive, I
can
send you my current patch off-list :slight_smile:
