使用Ruby:rbiphonetest 来处理iphone apps 应用的单元测试
星期二, 08月 19th, 2008| Everything to love about Ruby: the concise, powerful language; the sexy testing frameworks; and finally, the people.Everything to love about Objective-C: hmmm; well…; and finally, its the only high-level language you can use to write iPhone apps.
On iPhone 2.0, to arrive on the 11th of July, you cannot run RubyCocoa. But you can run it on your Mac, so let’s use it to unit test your Objective-C classes. This tutorial shows you how to get started using a new project rbiphonetest [GitHub | Lighthouse | Google Group] If you followed some of my recent tweets, this project was previously called “iphoneruby”. And alas, the screencast also calls it “iphoneruby” but that was a crap name. People thought it was a way to run Ruby on the iphone. I can’t do that yet. So, a far better name is ‘rbiphonetest’.

Even if you’ve never touched Objective-C, Cocoa, the iPhone SDK, nor RubyCocoa I recommend watching the video anyway. It should give you hope that if you make the transition to iPhone development you don’t have to go alone without Ruby: your trusty swiss army knife of language/libraries/tools.
Unit Testing iPhone apps using Ruby from Dr Nic on Vimeo.
You cannot run RubyCocoa on an iPhone, but you can use it for your unit testing of your Objective-C classes. This tutorial shows you how to get started.
Project at github.com/drnic/rbiphonetest/
NOTE: the project has been renamed to ‘rbiphonetest’ and not ‘iphoneruby’ as in the video.
Installation and Usage
To summarize the video, but change ‘iphoneruby’ to ‘rbiphonetest’, you install the framework via RubyGems:
sudo gem install rbiphonetest
Then change to your project’s folder and install the test framework:
rbiphonetest .
Finally, for each generic, non-UIKit-framework-using class you want to test:
script/generate model WidgetModel
Then write your tests in test/test_widget_model.rb
