Version 0.1.19 - barium
Lettuce release names will be inspired by any green stuff.
Barium: In form of "barium nitrate" is commonly used to make green fireworks. Such a good name for a first version :)
Lettuce is a BDD tool for python, 100% inspired on cucumber.
- Cucumber makes Ruby even more sexy. Python needed something like it.
- Testing must be funny and easy.
- Most python developers code in python, not ruby.
- Ruby has Capistrano, Python has Fabric. Ruby has cucumber, Python has lettuce.
- I personally don't like mixing many languages in small projects. Keeping all in python is better.
- I love python, and ever did. But I also ever missed something that make writing tests easier and funnier.
- I like nose, which is a unittest pythonic framework. However, as the project I work on grows, so do the tests, and it becomes harder to understand them.
- lettuce ladies :)
you will need to install these dependencies in order to hack lettuce :) all them are used within lettuce tests
- nose
[sudo] pip install nose
- mox
[sudo] pip install mox
- sphinx
[sudo] pip install sphinx
- lxml
[sudo] pip install lxml
- django
[sudo] pip install django
- fork and clone the project
- install the dependencies above
- run the tests with make:
make unit functional integration doctest
- hack at will
- commit, push etc
- send a pull request
that lettuce is a testing software, patches and pull requests must come with automated tests, and if suitable, with proper documentation.
