RSpec group on LinkedIn

December 5th, 2008

I forgot to publicise this. A little while ago I created an RSpec group on LinkedIn. If you use RSpec or Cucumber for fun or profit, make sure to add yourself!

Automatically generate Cucumber rake tasks

November 25th, 2008

An easy one I just needed because I got sick of (a) waiting for long running features and (b) typing cucumber args by hand. Put this in your Rakefile:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14


require 'cucumber/rake/task'
 
Cucumber::Rake::Task.new do |t|
  t.cucumber_opts = "--format pretty"
end

Dir["features/**/*.feature"].each do |f|
  task_name = f.gsub("/descriptions/", "/").gsub("/", ":").gsub(".feature", "")
  Cucumber::Rake::Task.new(task_name) do |t|
    t.feature_pattern = f
    t.cucumber_opts = "--format pretty"
  end
end

Note: I keep my features in features/descriptions rather than straight in features, but the tasks generate sensibly in either case.

It won't scale to many files, at which point a per-directory task generator would be more useful.
