[ruby-talk:444289] [ANN] minitest 5.19.0 Released
by Ryan Davis 26 Jul '23

26 Jul '23

minitest version 5.19.0 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest> * bugs: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues> * rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest> * 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: ### 5.19.0 / 2023-07-26 * 2 minor enhancements: * Add metadata lazy accessor to Runnable / Result. (matteeyah) * Only load minitest/unit (aka ancient MiniTest compatibility layer) if ENV["MT_COMPAT"] * 1 bug fix: * Minitest::TestTask enthusiastically added itself to default. (ParadoxV5)

[ruby-talk:444287] [ANN] zenweb 3.10.7 Released
by Ryan Davis 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

zenweb version 3.10.7 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/seattlerb/zenweb> * bugs: <https://github.com/seattlerb/zenweb/issues> * rdoc: <http://docs.seattlerb.org/zenweb> Zenweb is a set of classes/tools for organizing and formating a website. It is website oriented rather than webpage oriented, unlike most rendering tools. It is content oriented, rather than style oriented, unlike most rendering tools. It uses a rubygems plugin system to provide a very flexible, and powerful system. Zenweb 3 was inspired by jekyll. The filesystem layout is similar to jekyll's layout, but zenweb isn't focused on blogs. It can do any sort of website just fine. Zenweb uses rake to handle dependencies. As a result, scanning a website and regenerating incrementally is not just possible, it is blazingly fast. Changes: ### 3.10.7 / 2023-07-25 * 1 minor enhancement: * Updated to use kramdown 2.x + kramdown-syntax-coderay + kramdown-parser-gfm.

[ruby-talk:444283] [ANN] Learning by Reversing: Native Gems, Part 4
by Mohit Sindhwani 20 Jul '23

20 Jul '23

Hi Everyone, I started on a series to learn by reversing a native Ruby gem. Part 4 is now published! This does a deep dive into the makefile that you would use during development and also how it can be made to work properly also on Windows. Part 4 - https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e4-native-gems/ The first 3 parts are also online on my blog: * Part 1 - This covers the background to the gem we explore Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e1-native-gems/ * Part 2 - This goes into the details of how ruby loads the native gem and extension (and includes a nice sequence diagram of how all the bits happen together) Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e2-native-gems/ * Part 3 - How do we ensure that we have everything and that it actually gets built at installation? Link: https://notepad.onghu.com/2023/learning-by-reversing-s1-e3-native-gems/ Future posts are planned to go into details like: * The interface between Ruby and C * Running the specs and the performance benchmark * Enhancements: - Providing an executable - A gem that also works on JRuby - Making the gem ractor friendly - Patching an existing gem rather than a new module Comments on the posts or the plans welcome. I'm @onghu on Twitter or @onghu@ruby.social on Mastodon if you're on either. Best regards, Mohit.

[ruby-talk:444281] Seeking learning resources/advice

Hello community, how are you all doing? My name is Sebastian, I'm 23 years old and I'm from Santiago I don't have any professional qualifications in computer science or informatics but I studied electronics and have a strong foundation in various basic concepts and tools/languages Today I'm writing to ask you all for learning resources. I'm looking to learn and practice Ruby and all its different aspects, from the very basics up to writing professional level code. I want to learn best practices from the start, so that no matter what the current level I'm on my learning curve, I can write code using the latest advances and techniques, so that whatever I'm programming is done in the most professional and efficient way possible. I don't have a lot of expertise but I'm looking to start my journey with a solid foundation, and I decided to write this to the most appropriate group of people. Greetings from Chile!
