rspec-given is an RSpec extension to allow Given/When/Then notation in
|
6
|
-
RSpec specifications. It is a natural extension of the experimental
|
7
|
-
work done on the Given framework. It turns out that 90% of the Given
|
8
|
-
framework can be trivially implemented on top of RSpec.

= Why Given/When/Then
|
11
|
-
|
12
|
-
RSpec has done a great job of making specifications more readable for
|
13
|
-
humans. However, I really like the given / when / then nature of
|
14
|
-
Cucumber stories and would like to follow the same structure in my
|
15
|
-
unit tests. rspec-given allows a simple given/when/then structure
|
16
|
-
RSpec specifications.
|
17
|

|

|

== Status
|

_rspec-given_ is ready for production use.

== Example
|
23
|
-
|
24
|
-
Here is a specification written in the rspec-given framework:
|
25
|

|
26

Let's talk about the individual statements used in the Given
|
89
|
-
framework.
|
90
|
-
|
91
|
-
=== Given
|
92
|
-
|
93
|
-
The _Given_ section specifies a starting point, a set of preconditions
|
94
|
-
that must be true before the code under test is allowed to be run. In
|
95
|
-
standard test frameworks the preconditions are established with a
|
96
|
-
combination of setup methods (or :before actions in RSpec) and code in
|
97
|
-
the test.
|
98
|
-
|
99
|
-
In the example code above the preconditions are started with _Given_
|
100
|
-
statements. A top level _Given_ (that applies to the entire describe
|
101
|
-
block) says that one of the preconditions is that there is a stack
|
102
|
-
with some initial contents.
|
103
|
-
|
104
|
-
Note that initial contents are not specified in the top level describe
|
105
|
-
block, but are given in each of the nested contexts. By pushing the
|
106
|
-
definition of "initial_contents" into the nested contexts, we can vary
|
107
|
-
them as needed for that particular context.
|
108
|
-
|
109
|
-
A precondition in the form "Given(:var) {...}" creates an accessor
|
110
|
-
method named "var". The accessor is lazily initialized by the code
|
111
|
-
block. If you want a non-lazy given, use "Given!(:var) {...}".
|
112
|
-
|
113
|
-
A precondition in the form "Given {...}" just executes the code block
|
114
|
-
for side effects. Since there is no accessor, the code block is
|
115
|
-
executed immediately (i.e. no lazy evaluation).
|
116
|
-
|
117
|
-
The preconditions are run in order of definition. Nested contexts
|
118
|
-
will inherit the preconditions from the enclosing context, with out
|
119
|
-
preconditions running before inner preconditions.
|
120
|
-
|
121
|
-
==== Given examples:
|
122
|
-
|
123
|
-
Given(:stack) { Stack.new }
|
124
|
-
|
125
|
-
The given block is lazily run if 'stack' is ever referenced in the
|
126
|
-
test and the value of the block is bound to 'stack'. The first
|
127
|
-
reference to 'stack' in the specification will cause the code block to
|
128
|
-
execute. Futher references to 'stack' will reuse the previously
|
129
|
-
generated value.
|
130
|
-
|
131
|
-
Given!(:original_size) { stack.size }
|
132
|
-
|
133
|
-
The code block is run unconditionally once before each test and the
|
134
|
-
value of the block is bound to 'original_size'. This form is useful
|
135
|
-
when you want to record the value of something that might be affected
|
136
|
-
by the When code.
|
137
|
-
|
138
|
-
Given { stack.clear }
|
139
|
-
|
140
|
-
The given block is run unconditionally once before each test. This
|
141
|
-
form of given is used for code that is executed for side effects.
|
142
|
-
|
143
|
-
=== When
|
144
|
-
|
145
|
-
The _When_ block specifies the code to be tested ... oops, excuse me
|
146
|
-
... specified. After the preconditions in the given section are met,
|
147
|
-
the when code block is run.
|
148
|
-
|
149
|
-
There should only be one _When_ block for a given context. However, a
|
150
|
-
_When_ in an outer context shoud be treated as a _Given_ in an inner
|
151
|
-
context. E.g.
|
152
|
-
|
153
|
-
context "outer context" do
|
154
|
-
When { code specified in the outer context }
|
155
|
-
Then { assert something about the outer context }
|
156
|
-
|
157
|
-
context "inner context" do
|
158
|
-
|
159
|
-
# At this point, the _When_ of the outer context
|
160
|
-
# should be treated as a _Given_ of the inner context
|
161
|
-
|
162
|
-
When { code specified in the inner context }
|
163
|
-
Then { assert something about the inner context }
|
164
|
-
end
|
165
|
-
end
|
166
|
-
|
167
|
-
==== When examples:
|
168
|
-
|
169
|
-
When { stack.push(:item) }
|
170
|
-
|
171
|
-
The code block is executed once per test. The effect of the _When{}_
|
172
|
-
block is very similar to _Given{}_. However, When is used to identify
|
173
|
-
the particular code that is being specified in the current context or
|
174
|
-
describe block.
|
175
|
-
|
176
|
-
When(:result) { stack.pop }
|
177
|
-
|
178
|
-
The code block is executed once per test and the value of the code
|
179
|
-
block is bound to 'result'. Use this form when the code under test
|
180
|
-
returns a value that you wish to interrogate in the _Then_ code.
|
181
|
-
|
182
|
-
If an exception occurs during the execution of the When block, the
|
183
|
-
exception is caught and a failure object is bound to 'result'. The
|
184
|
-
failure can be checked in a then block with the 'have_failed' matcher.
|
185
|
-
|
186
|
-
The failure object will rethrow the captured exception if anything
|
187
|
-
other than have_failed matcher is used on the failure object.
|
188
|
-
|
189
|
-
For example, if the stack is empty when it is popped, then it is
|
190
|
-
reasonable for pop to raise an UnderflowError. This is how you might
|
191
|
-
specify that behavior:
|
192
|
-
|
193
|
-
When(:result) { stack.pop }
|
194
|
-
Then { result.should have_failed(UnderflowError, /empty/) }
|
195
|
-
|
196
|
-
Note that the arguments to the 'have_failed' matcher are the same as
|
197
|
-
those given to the standard RSpec matcher 'raise_error'.
|
198
|
-
|
199
|
-
=== Then
|
200
|
-
|
201
|
-
The _Then_ sections are the postconditions of the specification. These
|
202
|
-
then conditions must be true after the code under test (the _When_
|
203
|
-
block) is run.
|
204
|
-
|
205
|
-
The code in the _Then_ block should be a single _should_
|
206
|
-
assertion. Code in _Then_ blocks should not have any side effects.
|
207
|
-
|
208
|
-
==== Then examples:
|
209
|
-
|
210
|
-
Then { stack.should be_empty }
|
211
|
-
|
212
|
-
After the related _When_ block is run, the stack should be empty. If
|
213
|
-
it is not empty, the test will fail.
|
214
|
-
|
215
|
-
|
216
|
-
= Future Directions
|
217
|
-
|
218
|
-
I really like the way the Given framework is working out. I feel my
|
219
|
-
tests are much more like specifications when I use it. However, I'm
|
220
|
-
not entirely happy with it.
|
221
|
-
|
222
|
-
First, I would like to introduce invariants. An _Invariant_ block
|
223
|
-
would essentially be a post-conditions that should be true after
|
224
|
-
_Then_ block in the same (or nested) context as the invariant.
|
225
|
-
|
226
|
-
Second, I would like to remove the need for the ".should" in all the
|
227
|
-
_Then_ blocks. In other words, instead of saying:
|
228
|
-
|
229
|
-
Then { x.should == y }
|
230
|
-
|
231
|
-
we could say:
|
232
|
-
|
233
|
-
Then { x == y }
|
234
|
-
|
235
|
-
I think the [wrong assertion library](http://rubygems.org/gems/wrong)
|
236
|
-
has laid some groundwork in this area.
