This page describes how eweasel integrated in Eiffel Studio 6.3

Main ideas and main classes

The main idea is using normal Eiffel classes to replace orignal Eweasel testing control/catalog files. It means, in 6.3, we will write Eweasel testing control/catalog files in normal Eiffel classes instead of writting the eweasel instructions in plain text files.

First, what testing control file looks like in 6.3:

class
	EWEASEL_TEST_CONTROL_SAMPLE
 
inherit
	EW_TEST_CONTROL_INSTRUCTIONS
		redefine
			make
		end
 
create
	make
 
feature {NONE} -- Initialization
 
	make is
			-- Creation method
		do
			Precursor {EW_TEST_CONTROL_INSTRUCTIONS}
			test_name ("Your test name here")
			test_description ("Your test description here")
 
			copy_sub ("Ace", "$TEST", "Ace")
			copy_raw ("test.e", "$CLUSTER", "test.e")
 
			compile_melted
 
			execute_work ("NONE", "NONE", Void)
		end
 
end

In above example, we use:

   test_name ("Your test name here")
   test_description ("Your test description here")
   copy_sub ("Ace", "$TEST", "Ace")
   copy_raw ("test.e", "$CLUSTER", "test.e")
   compile_melted
   execute_work ("NONE", "NONE", Void)

to replace the old testing instructions which are written in normal plain text file:

   test_name Your test name here
   test_description Your test description here
   copy_sub Ace $TEST Ace
   copy_raw test.e $CLUSTER test.e
   compile_melted
   execute_work
