If you’re programming in Ruby, then in the list of “should be’s” is “using autotest“, assuming you’re doing automated testing, which of course is a giant “should be”. One problem if you’re using a bunch of gems or Rails is that their code works and yours is broken but the failure stacktraces you’re reading contain their method names mixed in with yours. 99% of the time this is distracting. So, using some code from Faisal that did the same thing with an older version of Autotest but doesn’t work in the latest release, I hacked up the code to help remove unwanted text from Autotest test output. And now I present it to you.
This goes in your .autotest file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
Autotest.add_hook :ran_command do |autotest| eliminate_matching = [%r{vendor/plugins/mocha}] modify_matching = {%r{/Applications/Locomotive2/.*/gems} => '{gems}'} eliminate_matching.each do |u| autotest.results = autotest.results.delete_if do |line| line.match(u) end end modify_matching.each do |k,v| autotest.results.collect! do |line| line.gsub(k, v) end end puts autotest.results end |
Note that autotest will still print the unfiltered version; the filtered output will print afterwards, so just ignore the unfiltered stuff.
