v2.0.0

This is a major release with a complete rewrite of the library, modernization of dependencies, and many new features.

Breaking Changes

  • Configuration file renamed from .infinity_test to INFINITY_TEST
  • Removed Bacon test framework support
  • Removed Growl notification support (use notifiers gem instead)
  • The #before_env method in the configuration file was removed
  • The #before_run and #after_run methods were removed. Use before(:all) and after(:all) instead

New Features

  • Modern Notifications: Integration with the notifiers gem supporting:

    • osascript (macOS built-in)
    • terminal_notifier (macOS)
    • notify_send (Linux libnotify)
    • dunstify (Linux dunst)
    • auto_discover (automatic detection)
    • New CLI options: --notifications and --mode for image themes

  • Callbacks System: Full callback support with before/after hooks

    • before(:all) - Run before all tests
    • after(:all) - Run after all tests
    • before(:each_ruby) - Run before each Ruby version
    • after(:each_ruby) - Run after each Ruby version

  • Multi-Ruby Support:

    • RVM strategy: Run tests across multiple Ruby versions with gemset support
    • RbEnv strategy: Run tests with RBENV_VERSION environment variable
    • RubyDefault strategy: Run on current Ruby version

  • Just Watch Mode: --just-watch (-j) option to skip initial test run

    • Useful for large applications where startup is slow
    • Only watches for file changes and runs tests on change

  • Focus Mode: --focus (-f) option for running specific tests

    • --focus failures - Run only previously failed tests
    • --focus path/to/spec.rb - Run only specified file

  • Framework Heuristics:

    • Rails: Watches models, controllers, helpers, mailers, jobs, lib
    • Padrino: Similar to Rails with Padrino-specific paths
    • Rubygems: Watches lib and test/spec directories

  • Auto Discovery Priority: Smart prioritization when auto-discovering

    • Strategies: RVM > RbEnv > RubyDefault
    • Frameworks: Rails > Padrino > Rubygems
    • Test Frameworks: RSpec > Test::Unit

  • Test Framework Improvements:

    • Complete Test::Unit/Minitest implementation with output parsing
    • RSpec improvements: test_dir=, pending?, and .run? methods

  • Modern File Watching:

    • Listen gem (default) - Event-driven, uses native OS notifications
    • Filewatcher gem - Polling-based, works everywhere including VMs/NFS

  • AI Integration Ideas: Documentation for integrating with Claude Code and other AI tools

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed signal handler blocking issue in observer base
  • Fixed ActiveSupport autoload issues
  • Replaced deprecated stub with allow().to receive() in specs

Dependencies

  • Replaced watchr with listen and filewatcher observers
  • Updated to modern notifiers gem (from GitHub main branch)
  • Removed growl dependency

Internal Changes

  • Rewrite of the entire library with separated responsibilities
  • Shared examples for creating custom strategies, frameworks, and observers
  • Updated all specs to modern RSpec syntax
  • Comprehensive test coverage (250+ examples)

v1.0.1

  • Fix a serious bug for Test::unit users (just run one test file instead of all tests)

v1.0.0

Features

To see the Heuristics that InfinityTest will see type in ther terminal:

 infinity_test --heuristics

This example tell to InfinityTest run all the tests when some_file.rb is changed This basic DSL you will put in the infinity_test file:

  heuristics do
    add('some_file.rb') do |file|
      run :all => :tests
    end
  end

If you want run only the similar test file you can do too:

  heuristics do
    add('some_file.rb') do |file|
      run :test_for => file
    end
  end

If you want run only the similar test in some dir, you can do too:

  heuristics do
    add('some_file.rb') do |file|
      run :test_for => file, :in_dir => :models
    end
  end

If you want run all tests in a particular dir, you can do too:

  heuristics do
    add('some_file.rb') do |file|
      run :all => :tests, :in_dir => :controllers
    end
  end

You can pass an array of dirs too (w00t!!):

  heuristics do
    add('some_file.rb') do |file|
      run :all => :tests, :in_dir => [:controllers, :models]
    end
  end
  • Support Bundler: The InfinityTest try to discover If the user have a Gemfile in the project root and if Gemfile exists InfinityTest will run with "bundle exec #{command}" else will run "command" normally.

Obs.: In any case, you don't want this "magic" just run infinity_test with --skip-bundler flag. Or write this in .infinity_test file:

  # ~/.infinity_test or ./.infinity_test
     infinity_test do
        skip_bundler!
     end

  • Support Bacon - for more information see - http://github.com/chneukirchen/bacon (thanks to Ng Tze Yang) If you want run with Bacon just run with --bacon flag or add :test_framework => :bacon to infinity_test file

  • Possible to setup the lib pattern, test pattern (thanks to Jason Rogers).

    # ~/.infinity_test or ./.infinity_test
   infinity_test do
    before_env do |application|
       application.test_framework.test_directory_pattern = "^my_unusual_spec_directory/unit/(.*)_spec.rb"
       application.test_framework.test_pattern           = "my_unusual_spec_directory/unit/*_spec.rb"
       application.library_directory_pattern             = '^my_unusual_lib_directory/*/(.*).rb'
     end
   end

OBS.: The #before_env methods is an alias to #replace_patterns method

Refactoring

  • Refactoring all the tests frameworks to become more easier to add a new test library

v0.2.0

Features

  • Make possible to run callbacks in each ruby.

    Example:

    # ~/.infinity_test or ./.infinity_test
infinity_test do
 before(:each_ruby) do |environment|
   environment.ruby('some_ruby_file') # run a ruby file in each ruby that you setup
   environment.rake('Rakefile', 'compile') # run rake compile in each ruby that you setup
   environment.system('rake compile') # or with system command
 end

 after(:each_ruby) do |environment|
   ...
 end

 before(:all) do
   clear :terminal
 end

 after(:all) do
   ...
 end
end

Bugfix

  • When not have notifications framework do nothing instead raise an Exception (thanks to Nelson Minor Haraguchi)
  • When you don't use a block in #notifications method in .infinity_test, then Infinity Test will use the simpson default images

v0.1.0

  • Support Rspec 2 or Rspec 1.3.
  • Put some images to show in the notifications.
  • Create the hooks in before all the test and after all tests.
  • Create the notifications DSL for the .infinity_test file.
  • Possible to run with Test::Unit or Rspec with RVM.
