JRuby & JTestR in Eclipse
Continuing my rampage upon the JRuby community, I have achieved beautiful success with running my tests inside of the eclipse IDE as a JUnit test. Now I have limited knowledge in the JUnit realm and encourage those to improve upon my approach.
In your eclipse Package Manager sidebar, Right Click -#> Run As.. -#> Run Configurations. Go ahead and select ‘JUnit’ and hit the ‘New Launch Configuration’ button.
Fill in the configuration as follows:
* Run a single test Project: your-project-name Test class: org.jtestr.ant.JtestRSuite
Now just open the ‘Arguments’ tab and inside the ‘VM arguments:’ box
-Djtestr.junit.tests=rspec_tests
rspec_tests is the folder where my tests are stored, feel free to change this to something like /test/jtestr/funny_test or whatever structure you store your files in.
I am still trying to figure out a more effecient way to get these test to run under eclipse. Till than I can always fall back on this approach as well as the standard ant task.
