If you already have code in place, I would recommend adding specs by hand instead of using the generators. > If so, is there I anything I should be aware of when doing so? Back-filling specs onto pre-existing code is a very different animal from driving out code with specs first. There is a book called Working Effectively with Legacy Code by Michael Feathers that deals with this topic very thoroughly. You might not think what you have is legacy code, but Michael (actually, Erik Meade, but in the WELC book), defines legacy code as any code without tests. Part of the premise of TDD (with a T) is that by writing tests and code in a tight cycle (small bit of test, small bit of code to make it pass, refactor), the resulting code is inherently testable. When you're backfilling tests, this is not necessarily the case. So the trick is to add the tests slowly, and *pay attention to the code* as you're doing so. If something is hard to test then use the opportunity to make it easier to test. Of course doing so is refactoring without tests, which is something to be avoided. So you've got a catch 22. And that's where the legacy code book can really help, as it offers a number of techniques and strategies to address this problem. So I'd recommend picking that up. Short of buying the book, the basic idea is that whenever you're modifying your existing code, find all the high level features that might be impacted and add cucumber scenarios for them first. Once those are in place, drive out the changes and/or new code spec first. With this strategy, you'll gradually improve the code base by getting it under test and refactoring as you go. This is more pain-staking than doing a one-time full coverage sort of thing, but in the end the result is going to be cleaner and better for you (and probably less work in the long run).

[rspec-users] RSPEC book example in Chapter 3.
Hi! I'm going through the rspec book in beta form right now and hit a snag in chapter three. I am developing an application in parallel to the book example instead of writing the book example word for word. To the best of my knowledge, I have duplicated a parallel example of the book example, changing what needed to be changed to fit my example. Currently, I have a failing spec when the book says my spec shouldn't be failing. http://pastie.org/458945 that is the failing spec here are my system specifications: OS: Ubuntu 8.10_AMD64 ruby -v ruby 1.8.8p1 (2009-04-09 revision 23162) [x86_64-linux] rspec -v rspec 1.2.4 http://pastie.org/458949 Here is the actual code that fails the spec. any ideas?

[rspec-users] running a specific feature when set up with selenium
I've set up my cucumber.yml file so that i have a default profile and a selenium profile as described at the end of this wiki page: http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/setting-up-selenium This works great when I run 'cucumber' from the command line, but I don't seem to be able to run a specific feature by doing something like: cucumber features/plain/something.feature If i run the above command, cucumber just tells me that all of the steps in my feature are undefined. This seems to be a simple problem of just being able to tell the rake tasks where to look to find the necessary files - perhaps when I try to run a single feature cucumber isn't able to find the cucumber.yml file (is it expecting to find it in the directory where that specific feature is? if so, does that mean i'd have to keep redundant copies of the .yml file in the root directory and in each directory where i have features?) My guess is that others have run into this issue and there should be a relatively straightforward setup issue I'm neglecting. Any ideas?

[rspec-users] Cucumber: Setting Dependency among scenarios
Hi,
I am planning to use cucumber-java for my java project for automated
testing. I would like to know if there is any option in cucumber, by
which we can explicitly provide dependency among running scenarios. For
example:
I have a ValidateProfile.java and a ProfileSignIn.java.
public class ValidateProfile {
...
public ValidatedProfile validate(String userName, String password) {
...
...
}
}
public class ProfileSignIn {
public void doSignIn(ValidatedProfile profile) {
...
...
}
}
Suppose I have a step definition for ValidateProfile as:
public class ValidateProfileTest {
@Given("I have user credential as (.*) and (.*)$")
public void setCredentials(String userName, String password) {
// set credentials to members
...
}
@When("I call Validate Profile")
public void validateProfile() {
...
ValidatedProfile profile = validateProfile.validate(_userName,
_password);
// set profile in class member
...
}
@Then("Profile should validate successfully() {
// assert contents of Validated Profile
}
}
Now I would like to create a Test case, say ProfileSignInTest, for
ProfileSignIn. As ProfileSignIn requires a ValidatedProfile, I would
like to run ValidateProfileTest prior to that and make use of the
ValidatedProfile as input to ProfileSignInTest.
Before running a scenario in ProfileSignInTest's feature(say
profilesignin.feature) , Is there any option to run the features of
ValidateProfileTest(say validateprofile.feature), get its output and
pass the same as input to profilesignin.feature 's scenario as below:
validateprofile.feature
---
@getValidatedProfiles
Given I have a username and password
When I call Validate Profile
Then Profile should validate successfully
profilesignin.feature
-
@profilesignin
use output as validatedProfile from @getValidatedProfiles
Given I have the validated profile as validatedProfile
When I call SignIn
Then I should get Signed In successfully
My idea is to make use of hooks as below, and if possible pass the
output of @getValidatedProfiles to the 'Given' of @profilesSignin. If
that's not possible, I can make use of a java framework to store and
retrieve the output, but the priority is to make a scenario dependent on
one or more other scenarios.
Before('@profilesignin') do
//run the scenario with tag @getValidatedProfiles
end
Other than hooks, If there are any other better ways of handling
this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Neema

Re: [rspec-users] automating and end to end functional test.
Hi David, So I have a number of Java based web systems. The systems allow users to lodge applications for various products/services that my organisation provides. The applications usually have at least 4 or 5 pages, but may be longer depending on the info that is entered. There is alot of common page fragments between the two systems (eg most systems have a page with bio info: names, Birth dates, gender etc) but each system with have different fields in addition the common fields on each page fragment. So, what I wanted to do is create features for logon, features to deal with the common page fragments, like the bio stuff, features to deal with the unique parts, and chain these all together so that I can build up a test to test the end to end application process. I will be using either watir or selenium with rspec/cucumber. The organization currently uses commercial test automation tools, so I am looking at ditching these and going with a Ruby based solution. The cucumber examples I have seen usually are short: Given..something Wen .. I do something Then .. I expect this to happen Can they be longer like this: Given.. And.. And.. Then.. And.. And.. And.. And.. Then... Given.. And.. And.. Then.. etc. On Apr 25, 11:11 pm, David Chelimsky wrote: > On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 5:43 AM, jmac wrote: > > Hi, > > I am new to ruby and rspec.

There is not, and there probably never will be. With any testing framework -
if the outcome of a test A depends on whether or not test B has run before
it - then you have created for yourself (and your team) a formidable time
waster.
Everyone will spend lots of time figuring out why a test is failing under
some circumstances and not under others. Every week there is a new person on
this list asking something like:
"Why do all my (Cucumber/RSpec) tests pass when I run them all with Rake,
but not when I run one individually?"
The answer is always the same:
"Because they are coupled"
Then they go debugging for an hour, sometimes several days and come back
with:
"I finally found out where the coupling is. How can I decouple them?"
If I make it easier for people to run scenarios in a certain order, I also
make give people more rope to hang themselves with. People will inevitably
end up in the situation I just described. And then everybody's time gets
wasted.
Actually - in Cucumber - the objects created in one scenario will never be
available to the next scenario. Of course you can work around this (shoot
yourself in the foot) by storing state in static/class variables or in a
database, but I don't recommend it.

I think I understand what you're after.
Hooks are not yet implemented in cucumber_java (but it would be fairly easy
to implement). If you think this
is what you need - please create a ticket in cucumber_java's github tracker.
But maybe Background is a better fit in this case?
http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/background
It should work fine with cucumber_java.
