Hi all,
I am attempting to use DRYML to generate HTML that is consumed by an
automated acceptance testing tool - http://www.concordion.org
specifically. So my DRYML markup ends up specifying data some times,
a bit like this:
<insert-order>
<set name="received-date">6-4-2009</set>
<set name="from">Mike Hogan</set>
<set name="total-cost">34.76</set>
...
</insert-order>
And I can make this work. But personally I would prefer to be able to
do :
<insert-order>
<received-date>6-4-2009</received-date>
<from>Mike Hogan</from>
<total-cost>34.76</total-cost>
</insert-order>
I think this will be easier to sell to our testers and business
analysts (but I may be wrong).
Anyway, to pull this off, I need to define tags for received-data,
from, total-cost etc. One tag for each of the possible properties of
an order. And then when I include all the other kinds of domain
objects, and their many properties, that might need to be specified in
a test case, it becomes impractical to define and maintain all these
property-setting tags.
So I was wondering it there was room for some cool way to use the
method_missing idea and apply it to DRYML tags. So if <received-date>
is intercepted, I can know that i need to set the associated property
on the current object. Or something along these lines :-)
What ya reckon?
Thanks all,
Mike.
