Distributed testing with Test::Unit and Rinda

From: Joe Hosteny iv <jhosteny@...>
Date: 2006-10-09 14:38:41 UTC
List: ruby-talk #218735
Hi all,

I have been working on some code to assist with distributed unit testing 
using Test::Unit and Rinda. I thought I'd post it here assuming that 
someone else might find it interesting or useful. It's a bit raw, and 
I'm still working out some bugs with unclean shutdowns of the test 
servers. Also, it's not documented (yet), but it's only about 240 lines 
of code.

There are easier ways of doing this, of course, but I had a few 
requirements that caused me to write it this way:

1) Distribute tests to the test servers on an individual test method 
basis
2) Avoid (as much as possible) having to rewrite any of the Test::Unit 
code via method aliasing.

You'll have to run a ring server - see ringserver.rb from Eric Hodel's 
site at http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/rinda/ringserver.html. 
Also, I did not provide the 'attribute_accessors' file, since that is 
just like the one in the rails support package  (except that is modified 
to be used in a Module instead of Class). The rest of the files are 
included inline below. Here is an explanation of what to do with each:

service.rb -

  This file continas definitions for producer/consumer classes for the 
distributed test service, which is shared via a tuple space.

distributed.rb -

  This file contains mixins for Test::Unit::TestCase and 
Test::Unit::TestSuite that enable them to use the distributed service.

server.rb -

  Run this on every machine that will be given unit tests to run.

tests.rb -

  This is a sample unit test file

test.rb -

  This is a sample master script, which is run as 'ruby test.rb -d 
tests.rb.' If you run 'ruby test.rb tests.rb,' the tests are run 
locally.

Regards,
Joe Hosteny
