Mocha and Bacon

[Pedro Belo]

Hey guys,

I wrapped up a tiny Rubygem to setup Mocha and Bacon together.

It just initializes Bacon and deals with the nasty "empty
specification" error when you have a spec using Mocha alone to assert
something.

Thanks,

Thanks, Pedro.

I notice that you've had to monkey-patch
Mocha::Expectation#initialize. This is not part of Mocha's API and so
this integration is potentially brittle.

I you define a custom AssertionCounter and pass an instance of it into
Mocha::API#mocha_verify, I think you could avoid this problem. See
Mocha::Integration::TestUnit::AssertionCounter &
Mocha::Integration::TestUnit::RubyVersion186AndAbove for an example.

I don't know much about the inner workings of Bacon, but I've sketched
out what I mean here [1]. Note that I haven't tested this.

Cheers, James.

Hi James,

Thanks, that's excellent feedback. I'll work on that asap :)

Just a follow-up:

Turns out that Bacon is raising an Empty spec exception before running
the @after lambdas. I wrote a patch to it and sent it to Chris - so as
soon as it is applied (if it is applied, heh) baconmocha will work
with the elegant solution proposed by James.

Hi Pedro,

Many thanks for your work on this. I hope you get the patch to Bacon accepted.

Cheers, James.
