Re: [Wtr-general] Reporting suggestions?
If you don't need the console output to be real-time, perhaps you could use the
following as a launcher script?
IO.sync = true
out_file = File.new('test_output.log', 'w')
ret = `ruby test_main.rb`
$stdout ret
out_file ret
out_file.close

Re: [Wtr-general] Reporting suggestions?
Tiffany,
If you want to dig a little into the Watir internals, you can do this
easily enough. Find the Watir method(s) that produce the output for the
tests. Then override those methods (just use copy/paste) in your own
custom module of the same name. Then in your copied method, change the
"puts" (or whatever it happens to be) to output the resluts any way you
want. Put your module somewhere in an accessible directory (/lib is a
good place), and 'require' it either in your controller(s), or in
application.rb if you want all controllers to see it.
I realize that was a pretty generic explanation, but it is not as
difficult as it sounds. But it is best to override the methods in
question rather than editing the existing Watir code.
The only problem might be if each test did its own output. That would
not be very DRY, and you would have a lot to override. I haven't looked
at it, but I doubt that is the case.

Hi all!
I'm trying to determine the best way to collect the results of my tests. I'm using Test::Unit methods for my harness and will have about 15-20 data-driven tests that get information from an excel spreadsheet for use in each test.
I have lots of 'verify' statements that check various conditions and post messages for failed conditions as well as progress statements I generate with simple 'puts' commands.
Ideally, I'd like all of the results ('puts' statements as well as the Test::Unit results) to be echoed to the command prompt and copied to a log file. I can't find a good way to do this other than copy/paste. I could write any 'puts' statements to a file as well as the command prompt, but I'm not sure how to capture the Test::Unit results. I did a web search and the only real answer I found on capturing command line output with Ruby was "don't".
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Re: [Wtr-general] Reporting suggestions?
I'd suggest using ci-reporter -
http://rubyforge.org/projects/caldersphere/- for your main test
reporting, though honestly I've got little experience
with it and am still using it's predecessor test-unit report. For your puts
statements why not use ruby's logger or log4r instead? Dump your puts
statements and replace them with log calls to a file.
Log4R: http://log4r.sourceforge.net/
Logger is part of ruby, there are examples of subclassing and usage inside
Watir.rb

Re: [Wtr-general] Reporting suggestions?
you can use 'tee' program. It's part of cygwin distribution if you have that
installed.
it can capture everything from the stdout to a file if you pipe it from the
command line.
So when you run a test append | tee somefile.txt to dump your stream in
there.
like so..
promptts_mysuite.rb | tee -a test_reports.txt
