Seattle.rb: April 2009 Archives

class Bowling
  def hit(pins)
  end

  def score
    0
  end
end

require 'yoda'

Bowling.yoda {
  "score 0 for gutter game".it_will {
    bowling = Bowling.new
    20.times { bowling.hit(0) }

    bowling.score 0.it_is
    bowling.score 42.it_is_not!
  }
}

This is what happens when Aaron Patterson and I hack together. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Spec yoda will, and spec you shall too.

Rubygems has plugins now! I've got an awesome one in the works for Apple's Dictionary.app coming soonish.

To see the gem plugins in action, try this:

% sudo gem update --system
% sudo gem install graph
% gem graph

Assuming you have graphviz's dot somewhere in your path, you'll wind up with a dot file and a png file of your rubygem state. Here's mine:

You can read more about rubygems plugins by reading the doco for Gem and Gem::CommandManager.

Graph is a type of hash that outputs in graphviz's dot format. It comes with a command-line interface that is easily pluggable.

It ships with plugins to graph dependencies and status of installed rubygems, mac ports, and freebsd ports, coloring leaf nodes blue, outdated nodes red, and outdated leaf nodes purple (red+blue).

Changes:

1.1.0 / 2009-04-16

• 3 minor enhancements:

  • Don't run dot if type is nil
  • Provide a command plugin for RubyGems, gem graph
  • YAY tests
