Overview of RCumber

RCumber is a rails plugin that gives your customers a web interface where they can view, edit and run Cucumber tests directly on your rails project.

First you need to have "rspec":http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/tree/master, "rspec-on-rails":http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails/tree/master and "Cucumber":https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber installed and you'll need to have some cucumber tests written in your project.

Current Features

Currently, Rcumber is just a simple CRUD viewer for cucumber tests in a rails project with the ability to run the tests and see the results.

KNOWN BUGS

• Not displaying stderr in test results - Need a tighter way to run than using system() ?
• Not handling creating a new test with the same name as an existing test - currently overwrites
• need to improve field checking, error handling and help on creation screen - it's confusing - do they really need to manage the filename?

ROADMAP / UPCOMING FEATURES

• Show all tests next to the current test for faster navigation.
• Create a demo/home site at radsoft.com where people can play with this plugin
• Add some screen shots to the home site
• Graphical commander panel to run and show the red/green
• Run all tests or a selected set of tests at once
• Click on a stack trace in the results and navigate to textmate
• Extract user configurable parameters into a ./config file
• Integrate some relevant 3rd party agile articles/blogs on story tests and cucumber using a feed from radsoft.com (user definable).
• better graphical feedback on a test run
• structured editing of a cucumber test
• subversion and git integration for auto-commit of story test updates

3rd PARTY INTEGRATION PLANS

• Integration with radtrack - see radtrack project for details

Installation

If you're looking at this right now - it's only been a day since I've pulled this out of a project (and I'm still a newbie at building my own plugin) - and there's some kinks - here they are - any help would be appreciated!:

Add to your routes

You need to add the following to your routes.rb until I figure out how to bootstrap this in the plugin init process:

map.rcumber 'rcumber', :controller => 'rcumbers', :action => 'index' 
map.resources :rcumbers do |rcumber|
  rcumber.run 'run', :controller => 'rcumbers', :action => 'run'
end

It's simple to add rcumber to your rails project - just install it as plugin into your project:

   cd ./vendor/plugins
   git clone git://github.com/jgoodsen/rcumber.git
   cd rcumber
   rake rcumber:install  <-- all this does is copy the nifty cucumber.gif to your /images directory

Step two: just start your rails server and visit http://localhost:3000/rcumber

That's it! You should be looking at your cool cukes through a sexy web interface.
