= A WebKit RSpec Formatter

http://deveiate.org/webkit-rspec-formatter.html

== Description

This is a formatter for RSpec 2 that takes advantage of features in

WebKit[http://webkit.org/] to make the output from RSpec in Textmate more

fun.

Test output looks like this:

== Installation

To get started, install the `rspec-formatter-webkit` gem:

    $ gem install rspec-formatter-webkit

== Usage

If you're running specs in Textmate 2 via

{the RSpec bundle}[http://github.com/rspec/rspec-tmbundle], include

these in your .tm_properties file:

    TM_RSPEC_OPTS      = '-rrspec/core/formatters/webkit'

    TM_RSPEC_FORMATTER = 'RSpec::Core::Formatters::WebKit'

To do the same in TextMate 1, open the 'Advanced' Preferences and

adding the same variables there:

http://deveiate.org/images/tmrspecopts-shellvar.png

That's it!

=== Logging Output

If you have some kind of log output that you'd like to show up underneath

the example, you can append lines of HTML to the logger-output

thread-local variable and they'll be inserted into a +div+ under

the example line that can be toggled open and closed by clicking the

example line:

    Thread.current['logger-output'] << %{
Some stuff happened.
}


Each line that has such logging appended will appear with an asterisk after it

in the output.

==== Loggability

If you're using Loggability for logging, the WebKit formatter has CSS rules for

the output of its HTML formatter, and includes a helper for injecting the logs

generated for an example into the output. Just include the Loggability spec

helper in your RSpec config:

    require 'rspec'

    require 'loggability/spechelpers'

    RSpec.configure do |config|

        config.include( Loggability::SpecHelpers )

    end

== Miscellaneous

This formatter is also usable anywhere else the standard HTML formatter is, of

course. Also, while it's specifically intended to be used under the Textmate

HTML viewer that the RSpec bundle uses, the output should work fine under

recent Gecko/Firefox-based viewers, as well. 

Patches/suggestions welcomed.
