This repository hosts materials of Rails testing workshop.
It's very draftly and only includes very basic usages of RSpec testing. It may be improved in the future. If you have any idea feel free to open an issue.
Also, you're free to use this material. You don't have to ask me anything to use this material. It'll be nice if you drop a note to me (twitter @yorkxin) if you have used this. Any feedback is welcomed.
The repository contains several tags that help attendees switch to a revision quickly:
rev-*- for examples, features are done, and may have some sample testsexercise-*- for exercisesanswer-*- for answers to corresponding exercises
To run the workshop:
- Ask attendees to
git checkout rev-01
- Explain some code in this version
- Ask attendees to
git checkout -f exercise-01 - Ask attendees to fill some code
- Ask attendees to
git checkout -f answer-01(their works will be overriden). - Continue to 1 for next loop.
The slides I used during Rails Pacific 2014 is here: Rails Testing Workshop // Speaker Deck
This workshop is not good enough, and needs many improvements. Here are some of them I thought of:
- Make it possible for attendees to save their works
- This includes the problem on how to apply new sample (app) code
- It can't work like RailsBridge since the only things they do are tests
- Don't teach "stub" for beginners
- Don't teach "subject" for beginners
- Don't teach shared context / shared examples for beginners
- More exercises
- More material references
