rcodetools is a collection of Ruby code manipulation tools. It includes
xmpfilter and editor-independent Ruby development helper tools, as well
as
emacs and vim interfaces.
Currently, rcodetools comprises:
- xmpfilter: automagic Test::Unit assertions/RSpec expectations and
code
annotations - rct-complete: 100% accurate (editor-independent) code completion
- rct-doc: document browsing and code navigator
- rct-meth-args: precise method info (meta-programming aware) and TAGS
generation - rct-fork: pre-load heavy library(Rails etc) and speed up
rct-complete/rct-doc (server) - rct-fork-client: run Ruby programs from the current state of the
rct-fork server - ruby-toggle-file: toggle implementation file and test file
- rbtest: embedded Test::Unit for small scripts
rcodetools includes and supersedes xmpfilter, which has been much
improved and
extended by rubikitch, ultimately resulting in the rct-* tools, which
are
almost entirely his work.
See eigenclass.org for further information and
eigenclass.org for the
screenshots/screencasts.
What’s new
User-visible changes since 0.5.0
- “test-driven completion” (TDC) support for Emacs and vim (see
README.TDC) - –test (-t), --filename options for rct-complete and rct-doc, allowing
to
specify the test to be run for 100% accurate completion/documentation
in the
corresponding implementation - ruby-toggle-file: finds the test file corresponding to a given
implementation and vice versa - rct-fork, rct-fork-client: allow to eliminate the overhead due to
library
loading (esp. useful for Rails) - rbtest: executes unit tests in a single Ruby script
- –fork, --rbtest, --detect-rbtest supported by several commands
- xmpfilter’s --spec now autodetects the RSpec version and generates
specifications with the appropriate syntax
Download
rcodetools can be installed with RubyGems:
gem install rcodetools
If you try this shortly after a release and you get an old version/a 404
error, please allow some time until the packages propagate to
RubyForge’s
mirrors.
rcodetools is available in tarball format. rcodetools’ executables will
run
faster when installed this way, since RubyGems add a noticeable
overhead.
Usage
rcodetools can be used with any editor, but the distribution includes
emacs
and vim interfaces (contributions for other editors are welcome); see
README.emacs and README.vim in the sources for more information.
