While the spirit of BDD is to spec first and code second, many of us have legacy code. Worse, some of us have legacy code without very good coverage. Recognizing that *I* have such code, I created a script that grinds through your .rb files and creates placeholder specs for each public method.
While it is more sensible to spec behavior of code function than of individual methods, this tool can help jump start a transition to that wonderful place. Comments welcome (and please be kind about the code -- I know it needs refactoring :). svn: http://svn.calicowebdev.com/rspec_todo/trunk Excerpt from the readme: Usage is: ruby spec_todo.rb <options> <files> Options are: -m -- Wrap each file's spec in a module -u -- Use "it" with a block and a pending method rather than a "it" So, for example, I might use it as follows: ruby spec_todo.rb app/models/* app/controllers/* Here is a brief example of the output of this tool: #------------------------------------------------------------ # File: app/controllers/contact_controller_spec.rb #------------------------------------------------------------ require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper' describe "A ContactController" do it "should do something sensible with index." it "should do something sensible with thank_you." end _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
