minitest/unit is a small and fast replacement for ruby's huge and slow test/unit. This is meant to be clean and easy to use both as a regular test writer and for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working unit test suite.

mini/spec is a functionally complete spec engine.

mini/mock, by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock object framework.

(This package was called miniunit once upon a time)

ZenWeb is a set of classes/tools for organizing and formating a website. It is website oriented rather than webpage oriented, unlike most rendering tools. It is content oriented, rather than style oriented, unlike most rendering tools. It provides a plugin system of renderers and filters to provide a very flexible, and powerful system.

Documentation is available in the docs directory, and can be generated into html (in docshtml) simply by running make. See QuickStart and YourOwnWebsite for setup and starting to build a website.

(EXPERIMENTAL) If you are running apache, you might try 'make apache' which will run a private version of apache that points to the generated documenation. Point your browser to port 8080 of localhost or whatever machine you are running on.

Changes:

2.18.1 / 2009-06-23

• 1 minor enhancement:

  • Switched to minitest

• 1 bug fix:

I just finished my release flood and we cracked release #300!

We're now up to 321 (we started at 297)! Buy stuff off my amazon wishlist or I'll keep releasing until all your mailboxes fill up! :P

ZenTest provides 4 different tools: zentest, unit_diff, autotest, and multiruby.

ZenTest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker pace. ZenTest only works with Ruby and Test::Unit. Nobody uses this tool anymore but it is the package namesake, so it stays.

unit_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong.

autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests.

multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great for compatibility checking! Use multiruby_setup to manage your installed versions.

Wilson is a pure ruby x86 assembler. No, really. Worst Idea Evar.

Why "wilson"? I wanted to name it "metal", but there is an existing project with that name... So I'm naming it after Wilson Bilkovich, who is about as metal as you can get (and it is easier to spell than "bilkovich", even tho that sounds more metal).

  • Switched to minitest

• 1 bug fix:

  • Specify full path to dlload to fix use in multiruby

zenprofiler helps answer WHAT is being called the most. spyon helps answer WHERE those calls are being made. ZenProfiler provides a faster version of the standard library ruby profiler. It is otherwise pretty much the same as before. spyon provides a clean way to redefine a bottleneck method so you can account for and aggregate all the calls to it.

% ruby -Ilib bin/zenprofile misc/factorial.rb 50000
Total time = 3.056884
Total time = 2.390000

          total     self              self    total
% time  seconds  seconds    calls  ms/call  ms/call  name
 50.70     1.64     1.64    50000     0.03     0.05 Integer#downto
 19.63     2.27     0.63   200000     0.00     0.00 Fixnum#*
 14.19     2.73     0.46    50000     0.01     0.05 Factorial#factorial
  9.93     3.05     0.32        1   320.36  3047.10 Range#each
  5.54     3.23     0.18        2    89.40   178.79 ZenProfiler#start_hook

Once you know that Integer#downto takes 50% of the entire run, you can use spy_on to find it. (See misc/factorial.rb for the actual code):

% SPY=1 ruby -Ilib misc/factorial.rb 50000
Spying on Integer#downto

Integer.downto

50000: total
50000: ./misc/factorial.rb:6:in `factorial' via 
       ./misc/factorial.rb:6:in `factorial'

Heckle is unit test sadism(tm) at it's core. Heckle is a mutation tester. It modifies your code and runs your tests to make sure they fail. The idea is that if code can be changed and your tests don't notice, either that code isn't being covered or it doesn't do anything.

It's like hiring a white-hat hacker to try to break into your server and making sure you detect it. You learn the most by trying to break things and watching the outcome in an act of unit test sadism.

Changes:

1.4.3 / 2009-06-23

ruby_parser (RP) is a ruby parser written in pure ruby (utilizing racc--which does by default use a C extension). RP's output is the same as ParseTree's output: s-expressions using ruby's arrays and base types.

As an example:

def conditional1(arg1) if arg1 == 0 then return 1 end return 0 end

becomes:

s(:defn, :conditional1, s(:args, :arg1), s(:scope, s(:block, s(:if, s(:call, s(:lvar, :arg1), :==, s(:arglist, s(:lit, 0))), s(:return, s(:lit, 1)), nil), s(:return, s(:lit, 0)))))

ParseTree is a C extension (using RubyInline) that extracts the parse tree for an entire class or a specific method and returns it as a s-expression (aka sexp) using ruby's arrays, strings, symbols, and integers.

As an example:

def conditional1(arg1) if arg1 == 0 then return 1 end return 0 end

becomes:

[:defn, :conditional1, [:scope, [:block, [:args, :arg1], [:if, [:call, [:lvar, :arg1], :==, [:array, [:lit, 0]]], [:return, [:lit, 1]], nil], [:return, [:lit, 0]]]]]

Inline allows you to write foreign code within your ruby code. It automatically determines if the code in question has changed and builds it only when necessary. The extensions are then automatically loaded into the class/module that defines it.

You can even write extra builders that will allow you to write inlined code in any language. Use Inline::C as a template and look at Module#inline for the required API.

minitest/unit is a small and fast replacement for ruby's huge and slow test/unit. This is meant to be clean and easy to use both as a regular test writer and for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working unit test suite.

mini/spec is a functionally complete spec engine.

mini/mock, by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock object framework.

(This package was called miniunit once upon a time)

Changes:

1.4.1 / 2009-06-23

• 1 major enhancement:

  • Handle ^C and other fatal exceptions by failing

• 1 minor enhancement:

  • Added something to catch mixed use of test/unit and minitest if $DEBUG

• 1 bug fix:

  • Added SIGINFO handler for finding slow tests without verbose

ZenTest provides 4 different tools: zentest, unit_diff, autotest, and multiruby.

ZenTest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker pace. ZenTest only works with Ruby and Test::Unit. Nobody uses this tool anymore but it is the package namesake, so it stays.

unit_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong.

autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests.

multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great for compatibility checking! Use multiruby_setup to manage your installed versions.

Changes:

4.1.2 / 2009-06-23

• 1 minor enhancement:

  • multiruby configure now passes --enable-shared to support wilson and friends.

• 2 bug fixes:

Corey sez "I decided to see what sort of speed-up I could get just doing a straight brute-force sort. First, I wanted a pure Ruby implementation. Next, I wanted a RubyInline version. Finally, I wanted to use RubyInline with Thrust. Here is the code I used."

The numbers? Bad ASS!

(Thrust is a C++ library that uses the GPU for parallel operations.)

What is Hoe?

Hoe is a library that provides extensions to rake to automate every step of the development process from genesis to release. It provides project creation, configuration, and a multitude of tasks including project maintenance, testing, analysis, and release. We found rake to be an incredible vehicle for functionality in the abstract, but decidedly lacking in concrete functionality. We filled in all the blanks we could through a "hoe-spec":

require "hoe"
Hoe.spec "project_name" do
  developer "Ryan Davis", "ryand-ruby@zenspider.com"
  # ...
end

This hoe-spec specifies everything about your task that is different from the defaults and from that, creates a multitude of tasks and a gemspec used for packaging and release. When you update hoe, you update all your projects that use hoe. That's it. Nothing more is needed. Everything is DRY.

Hoe plugins providing tasks used by seattle.rb.

ZenTest provides 4 different tools: zentest, unit_diff, autotest, and multiruby.

ZenTest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker pace. ZenTest only works with Ruby and Test::Unit. Nobody uses this tool anymore but it is the package namesake, so it stays.

unit_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong.

autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests.

multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great for compatibility checking! Use multiruby_setup to manage your installed versions.
