This is way cool and remarkably timely. Coincidentally, a coworker was
complaining about the way rails tests were reported about five minutes
before I read this announcement.

My only issue with it is its dependency on both the hoe and rubyforge gems.
Are these really necessary, or are they accidental artifacts? It seems to
work just fine if I remove them and remove the dependency on hoe in the
spec file. Could you remove the dependencies, please?

Done, and done!

New release of turn-0.1.1 -- non dependency encumbered version. I
just put it out there, and it should be hitting the mirrors soon-ish.

I'm using Ryan Davis' hoe package (totally awesome stuff there), and
it makes itself a dependency when you build a gem unless you
explicitly say, "Hey, I don't want to depend on you. Go away!"

require 'turn'

Looks great!

Does anyone know the best way of integrating this into a Rails project?

Bleh, ignore me. require 'turn' on line 4 of test/test_helper.rb seems to do
the trick.

These are really necessary. How are you supposed to run any of the
rake tasks without Hoe?

Besides, why do you care? *Rubygems takes care of these things for
you.*

PS:

There's no reason to whine over the disk space:

$ du -hcd0 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/**/hoe-1.1.4/ /usr/local/lib/
ruby/gems/1.8/**/rubyforge-0.3.1/
104K /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/hoe-1.1.4/
40K /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hoe-1.1.4/
1.2M /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc/rubyforge-0.3.1/
112K /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rubyforge-0.3.1/
1.4M total

Anybody who's disk is that small should simply nuke all their docs,
much better solution.

Pardon? Let me quote what I wrote above: "It seems to work just fine if I
remove them and remove the dependency on hoe in the spec file." In fact,
the author has now removed those dependencies, since they weren't actually
required.

} Besides, why do you care? *Rubygems takes care of these things for

Well, gee, I could just install every single available Rubygem and that
would take care of it for me, too. But I don't *want* all of that
installed. I want to minimize what can affect the code I write, which means
minimizing the installed libraries.

I posted a patch to the tracker and did a ultra quick write up on my
blog here about humanizing the output to make it a little more like
rSpec's spec:doc format.

My post is at http://spicycode.com/2006/11/14/turn-turn-turn

Thanks for turn!

I don't want to belittle this library, but just to be sure, users
should remember Test::Unit sports a --verbose option:

The biggest difference between Test::Unit verbose mode and TURN output
is when failures are displayed. Test::Unit verbose mode and
non-verbose mode do the same thing -- display a "F" and then wait till
all tests complete before displaying detailed information.

TRUN will display the details of a failure immediately. I wanted this
feature because some of our tests take over ten minutes to complete
<yikes!>. That's pretty much the only reason TURN exists (and I like
pretty colors).

No belittling assumed, James I always appreciate your very
considered and insightful comments.

Blessings,
TwP

Oh nifty. I didn't know that. I like it.

Where are you hosting this Tim? I didn't see anythingon the RAA or
RubyForge. I'd just like a place to make suggestions.

One thing I'd like is to have a "turn" command (under ruby/bin) so
that, instead of having to stick 'require "turn"' in all of my tests, I
could just do "turn tc_foo.rb" and get your nicer output. Plus, that
gives me the option of running the tests without turn if I so choose.

I suppose that means two files - one for Windows (a .bat file), and one
for non-Windows.

Thanks,

Dan

It lives on RubyForge under the codeforpeople project (thanks Ara)

Wicked cool idea! As soon as I figure out Guy's mmap code, I'll get
cracking on that.

No problemo!

Ah, yes. Whoops. Forgot. Thanks.

Whoa there. No need to get crazy. A simple shell/batch script that
lives in Ruby's bin directory will do.

I've posted the .bat file on the codeforpeople project page. Here it
is for those curious:

# turn.bat - put this in c:\ruby\bin
@echo off
"%~p0ruby" -x "%~f0" %1
goto endofruby
#!/bin/ruby
require "rubygems"
require "turn"
require ARGV[0] # The test file
:endofruby

The only quirk is that your test output will start with "Loaded suite
C:/ruby/bin/turn.bat" instead of the actual name of the test file.
Nothing serious.

Regards,

Dan
