I'm new to the Ruby development ecosystem and learning Rails in my spare time. However, I would like to build a command-line app from scratch with unit tests as a part of my learning.
What is the recommended structure for a Ruby command-line project? The one I came up with is
/test
- person_test.rb
/src
- person.rb
main.rb
Gemfile
Gemfile.lock
Thanks
If you're using MiniTest or similar, the expected place within gem foo would be foo/test. If you're using RSpec or minitest/spec, then you'd use foo/spec instead.
When you generate a new gem skeleton with Bundler it provides the following defaults:
$ bundle gem foo; tree foo
foo ├── Gemfile ├── README.md ├── Rakefile ├── bin │ ├── console │ └── setup ├── foo.gemspec ├── lib │ ├── foo │ │ └── version.rb │ └── foo.rb └── spec ├── foo_spec.rb └── spec_helper.rb 4 directories, 10 files
The default Rakefile is set up to run RSpec, but you can certainly implement the Rakefile's default task and your tests any way you'd like.
