DESCRIPTION:

Micronaut is a light-weight BDD test framework.

FEATURES:

• API compatible with RSpec (of course)

• Slim and light, designed to be readable, compact, and fast. Just over ~1600 LOC in /lib at last count.

• Each example has its own metadata, and you can add filters or modules to run/disable/enhance examples based on that metadata at run time

• A Real-world example of the power the metadata gives you:

• "Focused examples". Never drop out of Autotest again - just focus on the example(s) and ignore the rest:

  Micronaut.configure do |c| # in your example_helper
    c.filter_run :focused => true
  end 
  
  describe Foo do
      it "this example will run", :focused => true do
      end
  
      # equivalent to:
      focused "so will this one (this is an alias for :focused => true)" do
      end
  
      it "this example will not run, until the focused ones are removed" do
      end
  end
  

• Add your own metadata options and customize Micronaut to your hearts content (pending specs are implemented as ':pending => true' metadata, for example)

• Designed to be formatter compatible with RSpec (though this needs some real-world testing)

• Rake task for simple setup

require 'rubygems' require 'micronaut/rake_task'

desc "Run all micronaut examples" Micronaut::RakeTask.new :examples do |t|

 t.pattern = "examples/**/*_example.rb"

end

desc "Run all micronaut examples using rcov" Micronaut::RakeTask.new :coverage do |t|

 t.pattern = "examples/**/*_example.rb"
 t.rcov = true
 t.rcov_opts = "--exclude \"examples/*,gems/*,db/*,/Library/Ruby/*,config/*\" --text-summary  --sort coverage --no-validator-links" 

end
