whatsup_github

This tool helps updating data for Whats New on DevDocs. It filters GitHub pull requests and generates a data file. One pull request sources one data entity. All filtering parameters are set in a configuration file, except dates. Since date is set as a CLI argument and the till date is always the moment when the command is run.

CLI

Commands:
  whatsup_github help [COMMAND]  # Describe available commands or one specific command
  whatsup_github since DATE      # Filters pull requests since the specified date till now. Default: last 7 days.
  whatsup_github version         # Current version of the gem

Usage:
  whatsup_github since DATE

Options:
  [--config=CONFIG]  # Relative path to the configuration file.
                     # Default: .whatsup.yml

Testing

The project contains rspec tests in spec and cucumber tests in features.

specs

To run rspec tests:

rake spec

features

To run Cucumber tests:

rake features

To pass the output_file.feature tests, you need to generate a non-empty whats-new.yml. To test just file:

bundle exec cucumber features/since.feature

NOTE: Cucumber tests will use the configuration file from code lib/template/.whatsup.yml.

Individual files

Individual files can have tests at the end of a file in a format like:

if $PROGRAM_NAME == __FILE__
  # test code here
end

To run such test, run the corresponding file:

ruby lib/whatsup_github/config_reader.rb 

The tests use the root .whatsup.yml file to read configuration.
