I''m apologize for my English, before. I''m doing a post graduation thesis about BDD, an my initial idea is to compare a ruby program built by TDD and after by BDD. In these cases, the both projects have identical code, excepts the tests that were made by Test::Unit and Rspec respectively. So I''m using some code metrics like rcov, flay, flog and etc. for compare the generated tests. I made the same for a rails project. I built a blog with three models (user, post and comment) using TDD approach using Test::Unit. After I did the same project using the BDD approach for build the same code but using rspec instead Test::Unit framework. In both projects the total number of tests are the same and the code generated are identical. So I tried to use metric-fu for compare these rails projects and the results left me frustrated. The flog and roodi''s metrics showing noting! I need to measure files user.rb, post.rb, comment.rb in app/models and user_test.rb, post_test.rb, comment_test.rb in test/unit. My metric-fu.rake is: begin require ''metric_fu'' MetricFu::Configuration.run do |config| #define which metrics you want to use config.metrics = [:churn, :saikuro, :stats, :flog, :flay, :reek, :roodi, :rcov] config.graphs = [] config.flay = { :dirs_to_flay => [''app/models'', ''test/unit'', ''lib''] } config.flog = { :dirs_to_flog => [''app/models'', ''test/unit'', ''lib''] } config.reek = { :dirs_to_reek => [''app/models'', ''test/unit'', ''lib''] } config.roodi = { :dirs_to_roodi => [''app/models'',''test/unit'', ''lib''] } config.saikuro = { :output_directory => ''scratch_directory/saikuro'', :input_directory => [''app/models'', ''test/unit'', ''lib''], :cyclo => "", :filter_cyclo => "0", :warn_cyclo => "5", :error_cyclo => "7", :formater => "text"} config.churn = { :start_date => "1 year ago", :minimum_churn_count => 10} config.rcov[:rcov_opts] << "-Itest" end rescue LoadError end and for rails rspec project begin require ''metric_fu'' MetricFu::Configuration.run do |config| #define which metrics you want to use config.metrics = [:churn, :saikuro, :stats, :flog, :flay, :reek, :roodi, :rcov] config.graphs = [] config.flay = { :dirs_to_flay => [''app/models'', ''spec/models'', ''lib''] } config.flog = { :dirs_to_flog => [''app/models'', ''spec/models'', ''lib''] } config.reek = { :dirs_to_reek => [''app/models'', ''spec/models'', ''lib''] } config.roodi = { :dirs_to_roodi => [''app/models'',''spec/models'', ''lib''] } config.saikuro = { :output_directory => ''scratch_directory/saikuro'', :input_directory => [''app/models'', ''spec/models'', ''lib''], :cyclo => "", :filter_cyclo => "0", :warn_cyclo => "5", :error_cyclo => "7", :formater => "text"} config.churn = { :start_date => "1 year ago", :minimum_churn_count => 10} config.rcov[:rcov_opts] << "-Itest" # doens''t work too. end rescue LoadError end I need to improve this rake file for show more information (and to include flog and roodi measures). For me rcov doesn''t work with this default configuration: config.rcov = { :test_files => [''test/**/*_test.rb'', ''spec/**/*_spec.rb''], :rcov_opts => ["--sort coverage", "--no-html", "--text-coverage", "--no-color", "--profile", "--rails", "--exclude /gems/,/Library/,spec"]} Why? And when I execute rake metrics :all these errors happen: (in /home/bruno/workRails/blog_spec) * master /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/flog-2.1.2/bin/flog:11: undefined method `flog_files'' for #<Flog:0xb7903708> (NoMethodError) from /usr/local/bin/flog:19:in `load'' from /usr/local/bin/flog:19 No file to analyze was found. All the files loaded by rcov matched one of the following expressions, and were thus ignored: [/\A\/usr\/local\/lib/, /\btc_[^.]*.rb/, /_test\.rb\z/, … and blablabla Can anyone help me with these questions? Thank''s so much, Bruno. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
