cucumber-gui (spike)

A prototype Graphical User Interface for Cucumber, the BDD and testing tool.

Start it with yarn start

You can test this using the event-stream-3 branch of Cucumber-Ruby, using this command:

cucumber features/docs/ --format Cucumber::Formatter::EventStream,port=9000 --out dev/null --format progress

## Demo

TODO

### Protocol

• count steps as they're executed
  • resolve mystery of why steps appear from Ruby after test run started event
  • resolve the mystery of why some steps that were shown in the test-run-starting event are never sent us as results
• display step duration
• show which step is curently running (drives out the test-step-starting event)
• display test step failure message and backtrace
• hide things until they're ready to display
• display working directory
• display start time
• display Gherkin source of a test case
  • send a GherkinSourceRead event
  • highlight steps from Gherkin source as they're executed
• display unused step definitions
• resolve confusion about sourceLocation vs actionLocation for test steps (especially hooks)
• protocol version
• display image / video attachments
• publish Ruby event-stream formatter / plugin (with tests?)
• document new events in a PR for the event protocol with schema, examples etc

Habitability

• live reload for easier development
• install bootstrap for better styling
  • use bootstrap progress bar
• add to_json methods to things like Result and Test::Case/Step in cucumber-ruby-core
• publish the repo in cucumber/cucumber and ask for help
• add tests
• rewrite using react / redux for rendering
• replace bootstrap / jquery with something lighter

Ideas for additional features

• display multiple test runs (series) in different windows
  • group by project
• display project name and command used to run the tests
  • button to re-run the same test again
