= rbiphonetest - Unit Test iPhone apps with Ruby

* http://rbiphonetest.rubyforge.org

== DESCRIPTION:

Want to write iPhone apps with unit tests? Want to write them in Ruby?

* Blog introduction: http://drnicwilliams.com/2008/07/04/unit-testing-iphone-apps-with-ruby-rbiphonetest/

* Video introduction: http://www.vimeo.com/1262916

* Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/rbiphonetest

* Bugs/Features: http://drnic.lighthouseapp.com/projects/13763-rbiphonetest

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Installs a Ruby-based unit testing framework into an iPhone/Objective-C/Xcode project

* Provides generators to create Objective-C classes with associated Ruby tests

* Uses RubyCocoa to bridge between Ruby tests and Objective-C via Loadable Bundles

Known issues:

	

* Currently only test/unit tests created; rspec etc coming soon

* Currently only supports Foundation framework, since its common between OS X and iPhone

* The plan is to mock out all the UIKit.framework classes so they can exist in RubyCocoa land.

* MacRuby (instead of RubyCocoa) is not yet tested

== SYNOPSIS:

* Create a new iPhone project using Xcode templates

* Open the terminal

* Change to project folder

* `rbiphonetest .`

This adds the test framework, a Rakefile, and an `autotest` config file.

You can now create testable Objective-C models/classes using the generator:

	

	$ script/generate model WidgetMaker

		  create  Classes/WidgetMaker.h

		  create  Classes/WidgetMaker.m

		  create  test/test_widget_maker.rb

To run tests you have several options:

	

1. `rake` or `rake test`

1. `autotest` (after installing the ZenTest gem)

All options will re-build the Objective-C code (if necessary) before running the tests.

If using autotest, your tests will be re-run if the test files or the Objective-C files are modified.

== REQUIREMENTS:

* RubyCocoa (installed on OS X Leopard; latest version at http://rubycocoa.com)

* XCode 3.1 (containing the iPhone SDK)

== INSTALL:

	sudo gem install rbiphonetest

From source:

	

	git clone git://github.com/drnic/rbiphonetest.git

	cd rbiphonetest

	rake install_gem
