Empiric provides a semantic DSL to construct a fluent interface for test execution libraries.
This fluent interface promotes the idea of compressibility of your test logic, allowing for more factoring, more reuse, and less repetition. You can use Symbiote directly as an automated test library or you can use it with other tools such as RSpec, Cucumber, or anything else that allows you to delegate down to a different level of abstraction.
Note that Empiric is currently being put together as part of a series of classes I am teaching on micro-framework construction for modern testing practices.
To get the latest stable release, add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'empiric'
To get the latest code:
gem 'empiric', git: 'https://github.com/jeffnyman/empiric'
After doing one of the above, execute the following command:
$ bundle
You can also install Empiric just as you would any other gem:
$ gem install empiric
Probably the best way to get a feel for the current state of the code is to look at the Empiric test script. If you clone the repository, you can see this script in action by running the command rake scripts:simple.
More details will be forthcoming as the project evolves.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rake spec:all to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
The default rake command will run all tests as well as a RuboCop analysis.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.
