Utilities to help with TDD in Ruby on Rails applications

Rails Test Helper

This is an extension for Visual Code Studio. It contains a couple of utilities to help with TDD tasks while working on a Ruby on Rails application.

1. Toggle between an implementation file and it's corresponding test file.
2. Run a test at the current line number. Running the command from the top of the file will run all of the tests.

Default keybinding

Toggle between test and implementation:

• cmd + . (Commmand + dot on the Mac)
• ctrl + . (Control + dot)

Command for re-mapping: extension.railsTestHelper.toggle

Run a test:

• shift + cmd + r (Commmand + shift + r on the Mac)
• shift + ctrl + r (Control + shift + r)

Command for re-mapping: extension.railsTestHelper.runTest

Tests will run at the current line number unless you're at the top of the file (first 3 lines), in which case all the tests in the file will be run.

Installation

Use the Install from VSIX command in VS Code and select the .vsix file

Development

• See the vsc-extension-quickstart.md documentation
• Test with npm run test
• Package with vsce package; install vsce package globally with npm

TODO/Known Issues

• Assumes Rails conventions and directory structure - the toggles are between a parallel mapping of the ./app and ./test directory.
• Doesn't work with Rspec
• Assumes tests are run via bundle exec rails test, make this configurable with a default
• Assumes yarn test for running any JS unit tests, make this configurable with a default
• Assumes JS tests are named in the file.test.js format and Ruby tests in the file_test.rb format
• No logic for split views
