Hi.. I think I installed the plugin successfully (at least i got no errors). But when i stuck two scenarios under the test/behavior folder I got some confusing
behavior.

First

i ran grails easyb-test

and i got this output ->

1 behavior run with no failures

The odd thing is that I deliberately added code that would make both the tests fail. I would have expected a message indicating that two scenarios ran and 2 of them (both of them) failed.. But I’m only seeing an indication that one scenario was executed (successfully.. which is a surprise).

Hi,

I had some problems installing until i renamed the file. downloading the file as ‘grails-easybtest-latest.zip’ gave me this this error ->

at gant.Gant.invokeMethod(Gant.groovy)

I renamed the plugin to -> /tmp/grails-easybtest-0.3.zip
then i ran -> grails install-plugin /tmp/grails-easybtest-0.3.zip

at this point the install succeeded.

It looks quite interesting.. I will try it out. thanks !

Did you add easyb’s jars on yours system’s classpath before install grails’s plugin?

Hi,
this is strange, I just install the plugin in a rails 1.0 application and it works fine …

Hello there, I’m having some problems with the jars of easyb.

I don’t know where can i put the jars and what can i do to ‘register’ that on my app’s classpath.

Thanks

You need the place your files under

$PROJECT_NAME/test/behavior

They need to be called either

XXyyScenario.groovy / XXyySpecification.groovy

XXyy.scenario / XXyy.specification

OK – i give up – what is the naming convention for putting easyb tests in the tests/behaviour directory? I can’t get any tests to run when I run grails easyb-test

Thanks.

Hi,

When I run “grails easyb-test”, it doesn’t load the Bootstrap.groovy.

Do you know how to load the bootstrap.groovy when run “grails easyb-test”, so that I can have some database table entries preloaded to test with.

Thanks

Wow! Excellent work. Can’t wait to try some BDD on our grails projects.
