turn version 0.4.0 by Tim P. [http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/turn](http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/turn) == DESCRIPTION: TURN is a new way to view Test::Unit results. With longer running tests, it can be very frustrating to see a failure (…F…) and then have to wait till all the tests finish before you can see what the exact failure was. TURN displays each test on a separate line with failures being displayed immediately instead of at the end of the tests. == WHAT’S NEW: While Turn still provides the exact same functionality for running tests via ruby or testrb as previous versions. The turn commandline utility has been completely rewritten with expanded capabilites. The turn command now features three run modes: - Solo runner for running each test file in a separate process. - Cross runner for running test file pairs in separate processes. - Normal runner, which of course runs all test in a single process. It also support three report modes: - Progress reporter which uses a progress bar. - Minimal reporter which provides traditional “dot” progress. - Outline reporter populaized by turn. The is also a special Marshal Mode which dumps test results as YAML. And the underlying API makes it easy create new reporters. To get a quick rundown on how to use the new commandline: turn --help Enjoy! == CHANGES - add solo and cross runners - move Colorize into separate file - use ::ANSICode instead of ::Console::ANSICode ---

I’m working with Kouhei to figure how to make this the default test runner for Test::Unit 2.x, since the runners have been split out from the main code. I’m pretty sure they’re pluggable, and should be configurable via a YAML file. Once I figure that out, I’ll post it here. Regards, Dan ---

Hm, when I tried to use it with Test::Unit 2.x, I got this: daniel-bergers-computer:~/Documents/workspace/file-find/test djberge$ rake test (in /Users/djberge/Documents/workspace/file-find) Loaded suite /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/turn-0.4.0/lib/turn.rb:17: warning: instance variable @io not initialized /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/turn-0.4.0/lib/turn.rb:17:in `attach_to_mediator': undefined method`sync=’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.1/lib/ test/unit/ui/console/testrunner.rb:53:in `start' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.1/lib/ test/unit/ui/testrunnerutilities.rb:24:in`run’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.1/lib/ test/unit/autorunner.rb:234:in `run' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.1/lib/ test/unit/autorunner.rb:29:in`run’ from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/test-unit-2.0.1/lib/ test/unit.rb:278 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.3/lib/rake/ rake\_test\_loader.rb:5 rake aborted!

I’ll look into it. Bones is actually a development dependency, but there should be something in the readme about setting up a development environment and the required Mr Bones gem. Thanks, Daniel. You should come up to the ruby users group again. We miss you; but I understand it’s a bit of a drive. Blessings, TwP
