Pre-requisites

  • MacOS
  • Other pre-requisites mentioned in README.md

Machine Setup

Follow these steps, running mentioned commands in the terminal:

  • Fork project repo
  • Ensure pre-requisites installed (installing JRuby via RVM on the Mac)
  • cd into project again to activate RVM glimmer-dsl-swt gemset
  • gem install bundler
  • bundle
  • rake # runs specs (ensure they finish successfully)
  • Once done, open a pull request with master branch.

rspec

rake or rake spec runs all specs.

To run a specific spec file, run:

rake SPEC=spec_file_path

To run a specific spec, run:

rake SPEC=spec_file_path:line_number

To display Glimmer debug information, add GLIMMER_DEBUG=true:

rake SPEC=spec_file_path:line_number GLIMMER_DEBUG=true

Note: make sure not to use the keyboard or mouse while tests are running since they bring up UI elements behind the scenes (invisible). This avoids fudging them and causing false test failures. If you get obscure failures related to focus of widgets, they are most likely false negatives. Just rerun the specs without touching the keyboard or mouse and they would pass if they are not really broken.

build

rake build builds the glimmer-dsl-swt gem under the pkg directory.

glimmer command

To run a glimmer sample, run local bin/glimmer command:

bin/glimmer samples/hello_world.rb

It will notify you that you are in development mode.

girb command

To experiment with glimmer syntax using girb, run local bin/girb:

bin/girb

It will notify you that you are in development mode.
