Would a wiki with these features interest anyone? - config.yaml points to your projects - serve, highlight, edit & run each Cucumber file - paint the tested website in into an iframe - update the iframe in realtime as the test runs I have researched how to do each of those items, and I could get them working very easily in a lite wiki using only Rails & Ajax. They would run on any platform, without special JS or plugins... -- Phlip http://www.zeroplayer.com/

I think Aslak had something in mind that was lighter-weight than Rails, built into Cucumber, though last time I looked at the 0.2 code it didn''t really lend itself to building other UIs than the console one - the logic for executing the test run is currently quite coupled up with the console UI stuff I think. The really nice thing (IMO) would be to avoid having to re-load a rails env for the SUT every time, so you''d start to get the same responsive feel as you get when you just code & fix in the browser in development mode. Anyway I''ve been thinking about this quite a bit and I''m definitely interested in the concept. I''ve also pondered on the idea of a ''unified'' test run API for RSpec and Cucumber so you could use the same HTML UI / HTTP API to run both sets of tests. In my mind it would look a bit like the good old JUnit test runner, but obviously sexier. Matt Wynne http://beta.songkick.com http://blog.mattwynne.net
this was my vision with rcumber - I haven''t worked on it for a few months, but it''s basically a rails plugin that provides a web interface to edit and run cucumber tests.... I''d love some help and ideas from others to take this to a more universally usable tool - we use it right now on 1 project. rcumber is at http://github.com/jgoodsen/rcumber/tree/master John On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 1:56 PM, Phlip <phlip2005 at gmail.com> wrote:> Would a wiki with these features interest anyone? > > - config.yaml points to your projects > - serve, highlight, edit & run each Cucumber file > - paint the tested website in into an iframe > - update the iframe in realtime as the test runs > > I have researched how to do each of those items, and I could get them > working very easily in a lite wiki using only Rails & Ajax.

Just a lite wiki, without even security or other heavy wiki features, that you prop up next to your projects. Put another way, if I were installing this, I didn''t want to have to plug it into an existing project...
I never said it was done - you are supposed to help out Phlip!
