Testing

Caboose does its testing with rspec. Since we want you to test your own code, we'll be getting you to set up rspec in your own application and then pull in all the caboose tests. This will test caboose using your own data.

Setup rspec

Add the following lines to your Gemfile:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec'
  gem 'rspec-rails'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails'
end
group :test do  
  gem 'faker'
  gem 'capybara'
  gem 'guard-rspec'
  gem 'launchy'
end

Download and install the gems.

bundle install

Initialize the spec directory.

rails generate rspec:install

Edit the new .rspec file that was created to include the following:

--color
--require rails_helper
--format documentation

Edit the new spec/rails_helper.rb file that was created to have the following:

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require 'spec_helper'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require "capybara/rspec"
require 'factory_girl_rails'
require 'caboose'

# Pull in all the caboose tests
Dir["#{Caboose.root}/spec/**/*.rb"].each { |f| require f }

RSpec.configure do |config|  
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
  config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!
end

If necessary, copy down the production database to the development database.

rake caboose:sync:p2d

Now run all the tests.

rake
