Behaviour Driven Development for Lua
I am happy to announce the release of Specl release 8.
Specl's home page is at http://gvvaughan.github.io/specl
* Noteworthy changes in release 8 (2013年06月26日) [stable]
** New features:
- Can now be installed directly from a release tarball by `luarocks`.
No need to run `./configure` or `make`, unless you want to install
to a custom location, or do not use LuaRocks.
- A new 'all_of' adaptor for any matcher:
expect (mytable).should_contain.all_of {x, y, z}
- 'contain' matcher handles std.object module derived objects by
coercing them to tables.
- 'equal' matcher performs a deep comparison of std.object module
derived objects' contents.
- `./bootstrap` runs slowly again with 4800 lines of code
reintroduced required to automatically manage Slingshot files with
new `bootstrap.slingshot`. This doesn't have any direct effect on
users, except that the Slingshot managed release process is much
more robust, reducing the chances you'll end up with a still-born
release.
** Bug fixes:
- Avoid 'nan%' divide-by-zero error output from report formatter.
- Built in report formatter displays argument strings to pending
calls from examples consistently.
** Incompatible changes:
- API change in matchers, generalizing the former `format_any_of` to
`format_alternatives`, with a new `adaptor` parameter for use with
additional matcher adaptors.
- API change in both matchers.concat and matchers.reformat, each of
which now take an additional `adaptor` argument, which can be
passed in from `format_alternatives` as received so that the
grammatically best choice of `and` or `or` is used to display the
list of alternatives when an expectation fails.
- Calling `require` in a spec file no longer artificially extracts
symbols from a returned table and injects them into the local
environment -- because it was inelegant and unnecessary. If you
had relied on this feature, simply capture the returned table and
either manually copy the symbols you need or use a fully qualified
name. Previously:
# Don't do this!
before:
require "specl.shell"
describe spawn:
expect (spawn "printf hello").should_output "hello"
Much better:
# Do this instead.
before:
spawn = (require "specl.shell").spawn
describe spawn:
expect (spawn "printf hello").should_output "hello"
Install it with LuaRocks, using:
luarocks install specl-8
Until the rocks are available from the official repository in a few days,
you can install directly from the specl release branch, with:
$ luarocks install \
