Ruby

If you’ve been using RubyMotion, you probably noticed that some new testing features were released today. The video in the announcment post and the documentation are pretty good, so I’m just going to share a few things that I had to do to get things working.

I recently integrated Warden into a web service I’ve been building with Sinatra. Unfortunately doing so completely broke some of my tests. I spent a while trying to figure out how to stub out the Warden object before I discovered that Warden already provides support for testing. Awesome. While I could load my config.ru in the test, there are other things in there that I’d rather not deal with while testing. I came up with the following approach, which lets me more or less test the web service in isolation.
