First install the RSpec and ZenTest gem:
<code>
$ sudo gem install rspec zentest
</code>
Next create the spec folder:
<code>
$ cd project_folder
$ mkdir spec
</code>
Save the following to *spec/helper.rb*:
<code>
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/..'
require 'rubygems'
require 'spec'
#require 'spec/rake/spectask' not needed, because ZenTest supports rspec now
</code>
Now create *spec/transcoder_spec.rb*, and add the following test to it:
<code>
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/helper'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../transcoder.rb'
context "Transcoder" do
setup do
# Setup your stuff here
end
it "should support 3gp format" do
Transcoder.convert("me_and_you.3gp").should == true
end
end
</code>
Let's not forget the class we're testing, put this code in *lib/transcoder.rb*:
<code>
class Transcoder
def initialize
end
def self.convert(file)
return true
end
end
</code>
Note that autotest automatically looks for your code in the lib folder.
Now run the test with the zentest command:
<code>
autotest
</code>
Change your files and autotest will run the test again.
