[ruby-talk:444588] [ANN] minitest 5.25.2 Released
by Ryan Davis 21 Nov '24

21 Nov '24

minitest version 5.25.2 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest> * bugs: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues> * rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest> * clog: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/blob/master/History.rdoc> * vim: <https://github.com/sunaku/vim-ruby-minitest> * emacs: <https://github.com/arthurnn/minitest-emacs> minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking. "I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test frameworks... I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity." -- Wayne E. Seguin minitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework. It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and readable. minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto minitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec expectations. minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb co-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential one! minitest/mock by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock (and stub) object framework. minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P minitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case discovery. "Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!" -- Piotr Szotkowski Comparing to rspec: rspec is a testing DSL. minitest is ruby. -- Adam Hawkins, "Bow Before MiniTest" minitest doesn't reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like: classes, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to learn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like extract-method refactorings still apply. Changes: ### 5.25.2 / 2024-11-21 * 4 bug fixes: * Include class name in spec name. (thomasmarshall) * Fixed 'redefining object_id' warning from ruby 3.4. (mattbrictson) * Minitest top-level namespace no longer includes entire contents of README.rdoc. Too much! * Refactored spec's describe to more cleanly determine the superclass and name

This is major development update including a lot of bug fixes (no? really?), changes, improvements and extensions. **wxRuby3/Shapes** (Wx::SF) is a pure Ruby 2D shapes and diagramming software library/framework based on wxRuby3 which allows easy development of software applications manipulating graphical objects (shapes) like various CASE tools, technological process modeling tools, etc. ## What's changed * refactor the serialization code into a separate gem [FIRM](https://github.com/mcorino/firm) with it's own improvements, optimizations and extensions (like XML serialization) * add many new arrow types (square, prong, cross-bar, etc. and combinations) * add BoxShape (incl. VBoxShape and HBoxShape) shapes with similar child management as wxRuby's BoxSizers * major changes and extensions of the 'demo' sample * lots of other changes, bug-fixes and optimizations Github: https://github.com/mcorino/wxRuby3-shapes Github-pages: https://mcorino.github.io/wxRuby3-shapes Rubygems: https://rubygems.org/gems/wxruby3-shapes

[ruby-talk:444583] [ANN] wxRuby3 MaterialDesignArtProvider v1.0.2 released
by martin＠corino.nl 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

wxRuby3 MaterialDesignArtProvider v1.0.2 has been released. This is a minor bug-fix release. Have you always liked those material design icons used in so many Web applications? Now, you can also use these in wxRuby3 desktop GUI applications. The wxRuby3 MaterialDesignArtProvider is a 100% pure Ruby implementation of a custom ArtProvider providing access to over 8000 icons (many of them available in multiple variants) from the FontAwesome, MaterialDesign, FluentUI and SimpleIcons collections. As these icons are SVG images they are also flawlessly scalable. Use any size you like, they keep looking good. Make your wxRuby3 desktop GUI applications looking slick, modern and having the same appearance on any platform, be it Linux GTK, Windows or Mac OSX. For an example see https://mcorino.github.io/wxRuby3-MaterialDesignArtProvider/file.USAGE.html For more details see https://github.com/mcorino/wxRuby3-MaterialDesignArtProvider For API details and overviews of the available icons see the documentation: https://mcorino.github.io/wxRuby3-MaterialDesignArtProvider/ Rubygems: https://rubygems.org/gems/wxruby3-mdap wxRuby3: https://github.com/mcorino/wxRuby3

[ruby-talk:444582] [ANN] FIRM v1.1.2 released
by martin＠corino.nl 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

This release adds optional property serialization. FIRM is a pure Ruby library that works across different Ruby implementations like MRI Ruby and JRuby providing format independent object (de-)serialization support. FIRM is explicitly *NOT* intended as a non-discriminative marshaling library (dumping any object's attributes) but rather as a structured and safe serialization library requiring users to think about what state they want persisted (and possibly in what form) and what not. Straightforward attribute serialization is simple with minimal intrusion on user code. In addition various customization options are available to tweak (de-)serialization for a perfect fit if needed. ## How to install ``` gem install firm ``` ## Where can I learn more? Source code: https://github.com/mcorino/firm Rubygems: https://rubygems.org/gems/firm
