h2. Overview of RCumber

RCumber is a rails plugin that gives your customers a web interface where they can view, edit and run Cucumber tests directly on your rails project.

First you need to have "rspec":http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/tree/master, "rspec-on-rails":http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails/tree/master and "Cucumber":http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/tree/master installed and you'll need to have some cucumber tests written in your project.

Documentation / Wiki
--------------------
http://github.com/jgoodsen/rcumber/wikis

Current Features
----------------
Currently, Rcumber is just a simple CRUD viewer for cucumber tests in a rails project with the ability to run the tests and see the results.
	
KNOWN BUGS
------------
* Not displaying stderr in test results - Need a tighter way to run than using system() ?
* Not handling creating a new test with the same name as an existing test - currently overwrites
* need to improve field checking, error handling and help on creation screen - it's confusing - do they really need to manage the filename?

ROADMAP / UPCOMING FEATURES 
----------------
* Show all tests next to the current test for faster navigation.
* Create a demo/home site at radsoft.com where people can play with this plugin
* Add some screen shots to the home site
* Graphical commander panel to run and show the red/green
* Click on a stack trace in the results and navigate to textmate
* Extract user configurable parameters into a ./config file
* Integrate some relevant 3rd party agile articles/blogs on story tests and cucumber using a feed from radsoft.com (user definable).
* better graphical feedback on a test run
* structured editing of a cucumber test
* subversion and git integration for auto-commit of story test updates

3rd PARTY INTEGRATION PLANS
---------------------------
* Integration with radtrack - see radtrack project for details

h2. Installation

If you're looking at this right now - it's only been a day since I've pulled this out of a project (and I'm still a newbie at building my own plugin) - and there's some kinks - here they are - any help would be appreciated!:

h3. Add to your routes

You need to add the following to your routes.rb until I figure out how to bootstrap this in the plugin init process:

<pre> 
  map.rcumber 'rcumber', :controller => 'rcumbers', :action => 'index'
  map.rcumber_runall 'rcumber/runall', :controller => 'rcumbers', :action => 'runall'
  map.rcumber_runmany 'rcumber/run_many', :controller => 'rcumbers', :action => 'run_many'
  map.resources :rcumbers do |rcumber|
    rcumber.run 'run', :controller => 'rcumbers', :action => 'run'
  end
</pre>

It's simple to add rcumber to your rails project - just install it as plugin into your project:

<pre>
   cd ./vendor/plugins
   git clone git://github.com/jgoodsen/rcumber.git
   cd rcumber
   rake rcumber:install  <-- all this does is copy the nifty cucumber.gif to your /images directory
</pre>

Step two:  just start your rails server and visit http://localhost:3000/rcumber

That's it!  You should be looking at your cool cukes through a sexy web interface.
