Hi everyone,

for my coming projects i was searching for a BDD-Framework similar like 
Ruby/RSpec or Scala/ScalaTest.
Unfortanetly, i didn't find either an implementation on dsource.org or 
something about here on the mailing list (Especially
for D2).

After looking into the old source of Tango-based DUnit, some postings 
here on the mailing list about assertions / unittests, i started a small 
try with Phobos D2 and i'm currently really amazed how clear the API can 
be by using templates + delegates + alias.

If someone is interested, i recently hosted a project DSpec on 
dsource.org and provide an experimantel example there
http://www.dsource.org/projects/dspec/
(Current source can be also found)

I'm not sure if something similar is possible in D1 and honestly it's 
the first time i'm currently working with Templates in D so intensely.
But after seeing such possibilities, i'm so impressed about D2.

void each(alias array, T : T[] = typeof(array))(void delegate(T item) dg) {
   foreach(T i; array)
     dg(i);
}

   int[] array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
   int b = 10;

   each!(array) = (int item) {
     writefln("%d", item + b);
   };

This is almost looking like an iteration in Ruby and Scala!
(I hope i'm not abusing the alias parameter in templates)

To make it look a little more like Ruby or Scala you change the each 
function to something like this, using some operator overload abuse:

struct EachHelper (T)
{
	T[] array;

	void opIn (void delegate (T item) dg)
	{
		foreach (i, array)
			dg(i);
	}
}

void each (T) (T[] array)
{
	return EachHelper!(T)(array);
}

Then use it like this:

int[] array = [1, 2, 3, 4];
int b = 10;

array.each in (int item) {
	writefln("%d", item + b);
};

The above code is the same as the following:

each(array).opIn((int item) {
	writefln("%d", item + b);
});

I think all the above code will work both in D1 and D2.

I think that follows the type-II solution (the worst one) I have explained here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D&article_id=107997
(Thank you for your code and work, the worst solution is often better than no
solution.)

Hi,

I read sources. I have something on my chest.

- ruun package
Umm...need?

- import ruun.dspec.Spec; import ruun.dspec.Should;
I think ruun.dspec.Spec should uses "public import" for Should module.
Is there a case that spec empties in it! ?

- Spec methods
Why final? How can I create custom Spec?

I expect the maturation of this project in a good direction.
