wxruby users - Mar 2007 - WxSugar 0.1.14 is released

Hi

I''m pleased to announce that a new version WxSugar is now available
from

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=35&release_id=10569

= CHANGES * Can now just do "require ''wx_sugar''" to
load all behaviours
* Added ''find_window'' and ''descendants''
methods to Wx::Window
* :name and :validator constructor arguments now work correctly for 
subclasses of Wx::Control
* Added ''traverse'' method to Wx::TreeCtrl
* ''arrange_'' methods now yield the underlying sizer into the
block,
which is a more useful behaviour esp if swapping windows in and out

= INSTALLATION 
(sudo) gem install wx_sugar

or, from the tarball

(sudo) rake install

= NOTE 
This version requires wxruby2-preview 0.0.39 to be installed. It will 
*not* work with the old series of wxruby (0.6.0) or earlier versions of 
wxruby2-preview.

The bump in version number from 0.1.3 to 0.1.14 has no particular 
significance other than me doing a release too soon after waking up... 
we''ll be releasing WxSugar as a stable version soon, as I think
we''ve
worked out most of the bugs in the current functionality.

= CREDITS 
Thanks to Paul Allton and Philip Schalms who pointed out some bugs and 
omissions fixed in this release.

cheers
Alex

Before I forget, thanks for the new 0.0.39 and wx_sugar releases, 
excellent work guys - its great to see the back of GC.disable ;)

I''ve been a bit tied up recently, so apologies that this topic has gone
quiet ... but I just wanted to let you know that this isn''t dead, in
fact
I''ve packaged up what I have so far into the attached gem.

Please note:
- wxruby2-preview 0.0.39 and wx_sugar 0.1.14 are required
- this is very much a preview, it basically works - except for the 
problems listed in ''KNOWN ISSUES''.
- component support is a bit thin right now, I''ve only added support
for
what I''ve needed to test an application that I''m currently
building
- it works on Windows and OS X only, as I''ve no means to test on other 
platforms.
- its based on an generic GUI driving api called ''Nobbie'',
which is a very
silly name, I won''t bore you with the history of how it came about

For usage info, please look at the README page of the gems rdoc ... but 
here is a quick example:

  require ''rubygems''
  require_gem ''nobbie-wx-preview''
 
  require ''your_application''
 
  #important - tell nobbie which application you want to test
  APPLICATION_UNDER_TEST = YourApp.new
 
  class YourAppTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
 
    def test_something_really_important
      assert !enabled?(:save)
      type ''fred'', :first_name
      choosable(:male).choose
      selection(:title).choose ''Mr''
      assert enabled?(:save)
      click :save
    end
 
  end

For more examples look at the ''test'' directory under the gem
install. Note
that if you run all_tests.rb, some of the tests will currently fail 
(depending on platform), these tests expose some of the problems 
highlighted in ''KNOWN ISSUES''.
