sinatra-test

Sinatra Test Command

Generates comprehensive test suites for Sinatra applications including route tests, middleware tests, helper tests, and integration tests using RSpec or Minitest.

Arguments

• $1: test-type (optional) - Type of tests to generate: routes, middleware, helpers, or all (default: all)
• $2: framework (optional) - Testing framework: rspec or minitest (default: rspec)

Usage Examples

# Generate all tests using RSpec
/sinatra-test

# Generate only route tests with RSpec
/sinatra-test routes

# Generate all tests using Minitest
/sinatra-test all minitest

# Generate middleware tests with Minitest
/sinatra-test middleware minitest

# Generate helper tests with RSpec
/sinatra-test helpers rspec

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Application Structure

Discovery Phase:

1. Identify application type (classic vs modular)
2. Locate controller files
3. Extract route definitions
4. Find middleware stack
5. Identify helper methods
6. Check existing test structure
7. Detect testing framework if already configured

Files to Analyze:

# Controllers
app/controllers/**/*.rb
app.rb (classic style)

# Middleware
config.ru
config/**/*.rb

# Helpers
app/helpers/**/*.rb
helpers/ directory

# Existing tests
spec/**/*_spec.rb
test/**/*_test.rb

Route Extraction:

# Parse routes from controller files
# Identify: HTTP method, path, parameters, conditions

# Example routes to extract:
get '/users' do
  # Handler
end

get '/users/:id', :id => /\d+/ do
  # Handler with constraint
end

post '/users', :provides => [:json] do
  # Handler with content negotiation
end

Step 2: Generate Test Structure (RSpec)

Create spec_helper.rb if missing:

# spec/spec_helper.rb
ENV['RACK_ENV'] = 'test'

require 'simplecov'
SimpleCov.start do
  add_filter '/spec/'
  add_filter '/config/'
end

require_relative '../config/environment'
require 'rack/test'
require 'rspec'
require 'json'

# Database setup (if applicable)
if defined?(Sequel)
  require 'database_cleaner/sequel'

  RSpec.configure do |config|
    config.before(:suite) do
      DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
      DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
    end

    config.around(:each) do |example|
      DatabaseCleaner.cleaning do
        example.run
      end
    end
  end
end

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Rack::Test::Methods

  config.expect_with :rspec do |expectations|
    expectations.include_chain_clauses_in_custom_matcher_descriptions = true
  end

  config.mock_with :rspec do |mocks|
    mocks.verify_partial_doubles = true
  end

  config.shared_context_metadata_behavior = :apply_to_host_groups
  config.filter_run_when_matching :focus
  config.example_status_persistence_file_path = 'spec/examples.txt'
  config.disable_monkey_patching!
  config.warnings = true
  config.order = :random
  Kernel.srand config.seed
end

# Helper methods for all specs
module SpecHelpers
  def json_response
    JSON.parse(last_response.body)
  end

  def auth_header(token)
    { 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' => "Bearer #{token}" }
  end
end

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include SpecHelpers
end
