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

Second, what's test catalog file looks like in 6.3

class
	EWEASEL_TEST_CATALOG_SAMPLE
 
inherit
	EW_TEST_CATALOG_INSTRUCTIONS
 
create
	make
 
feature -- Command
 
	prepare is
			-- The functionality similiar to orignal {TEST_CATALOG_FILE}.parse_line
		do
			source_path ("C:\eweasel\tests")
 
			test ("array-is-equal", "array001", "tcf pass array", create {EWEASEL_TEST_CONTROL_SAMPLE}.make)
			test ("array-is-equal", "array001", "tcf pass array", create {EWEASEL_TEST_CONTROL_SAMPLE}.make)
 
		end
 
end

In the example above, we use:

   source_path ("C:\eweasel\tests")
   test ("array-is-equal", "array001", "tcf pass array", create {EWEASEL_TEST_CONTROL_SAMPLE}.make)
   test ("array-is-equal", "array001", "tcf pass array", create {EWEASEL_TEST_CONTROL_SAMPLE}.make)

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

   source_path C:\eweasel\tests
   test array-is-equal array001 tcf pass time
   test array-is-equal array001 tcf pass time

Third, how to start Eweasel testing in 6.3

class
	EWEASEL_TEST_SAMPLE
 
create
	make
 
feature {NONE} -- Initialization
 
	make is
			-- Creation method
		do
			start_test_sample
		end
 
feature {NONE} -- Implementation
 
	start_test_sample is
			-- Start eweasel testing
		local
			l_eweasel_63: EWEASEL_63
			l_list: ARRAYED_LIST [EW_TEST_CATALOG_INSTRUCTIONS]
			l_catalog_adapter: EWEASEL_TEST_CATALOG_SAMPLE
		do
			create l_eweasel_63.make_empty
 
			l_eweasel_63.init (manager.environment_manager.init)
 
			l_eweasel_63.output_argu ("c:\test_output")
			l_eweasel_63.define ("ISE_EIFFEL", "c:\PROGRA~1\EIFFEL~1\EIFFEL~1.3GP")
			l_eweasel_63.define ("ISE_PLATFORM", "windows")
			l_eweasel_63.define ("EWEASEL", "c:\eweasel")
			l_eweasel_63.define ("INCLUDE", "c:\eweasel\control")
			l_eweasel_63.define ("EWEASEL_PLATFORM", "WINDOWS")
			l_eweasel_63.define ("WINDOWS", "1")
			l_eweasel_63.define ("PLATFORM_TYPE", "WINDOWS")
 
			l_eweasel_63.define_file ("EWEASEL_COMPILE", <<"$ISE_EIFFEL", "studio", "spec", "$ISE_PLATFORM", "bin", "ec.exe">>)
			l_eweasel_63.define_file ("EWEASEL_EXECUTE", <<"$EWEASEL", "bin", "eiffel_execute.bat">>)
			l_eweasel_63.define_file ("EWEASEL_FREEZE", <<"$ISE_EIFFEL", "studio", "spec", "$ISE_PLATFORM", "bin", "finish_freezing.exe">>)
 
			create l_catalog_adapter.make
			l_catalog_adapter.prepare
 
			create l_list.make (5)
			l_list.extend (catalog_adapter)
			l_eweasel_63.execute_with (l_list)
		end
 
 
end
