New Website “Is It Really FOSS?” Tracks Transparency in Open Source Distribution Models
A new site reviews software projects to reveal if they’re truly FOSS, making complex licensing and distribution models easy to understand.
This concept may seem ludicrous to some. It is however serving my purposes.
Problem:
While Cucumber is an awesome tool, for some kinds of tests it's default behaviour becomes an obstacle. Testing large batches of input against a slow error prone system is the source of much frustration. Cucumber will skip remaining steps on failure or error. This is especially problematic if the test input is a dynamic collection, *(e.g. results of a database query). This is opposed to a static collection testing which is solved by a Scenario Outline.
Solution:
We need to step putside Cucumber's default pass/fail/error handling. Capture all failures and errors in collections. Log errors and failures. Generate a pass/fail manifest against the test inputs.
Do not use this for normal BDD style testing, Cucumber's default behaviour is perfect for that.
Public Interface:
This is a works in progress so I expect changes as usage reveals more.
In your cucumber env.rb
Before do |scenario| setup_unstoppable end
After do |scenario| print unstoppable_failures(scenario) print unstoppable_errors(scenario) end
In a step definition wrap any operation that you do not wish to stop execution like so
unstoppable do expect(thing).to be(exected_thing) end
This helper method does the following:
runs executes the block
catches any exception 2a. adds error to errors collection if an error 2b. adds expectation failure to failures collection if error is an RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError
logs error/failure
FAQs
Unknown package
We found that unstoppable demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
