CHANGELOG.md
# Opal-RSpec Changelog
## 1.1.0.alpha3 - 2023-09-26
- Refactor glob_to_re into a robust implementation
- Add `--opal-opt` CLI option
- Add `--rbrequire` CLI option
## 1.1.0.alpha2 - 2023-09-20
- Drop advertised support for Opal v1.6
- Fix support for Ruby 2.7+
- Drop requirement of Opal-Sprockets
## 1.1.0.alpha1 - 2023-09-16
- Support Opal headless browser runners
- (Almost) full support for `rspec` CLI util (which we run using `opal-rspec` command)
* Focus works, you can type `opal-rspec spec-opal-passing/tautology_spec.rb:8` to select a given test
* Most of other command line switches of `opal-rspec` work
* You can use a `.rspec-opal` configuration file akin to `.rspec` with the regular RSpec
* Just like with RSpec, switches set in this file propagate everywhere (eg. Rake task), so this is from now a prefered place to set up paths, etc.
- Compatibility for upcoming Opal v1.8
## 1.0.0 - 2022-11-24
- Drop support for anything below Opal v1.6.alpha1
- Update to the latest RSpec versions
- Vendor-in `diff-lcs`
- Rework the async logic to use the `await` feature of Opal
* If you use async features, it's crucial to use a `# await: *await*` magic comment (this will cause any call to a method containing an `await` word to be compiled with an `await` ES8 keyword)
* Both `let` and `subject` that return a promise (ie. are async) must be referenced with an `.await` method
* In `around` blocks, you must call `example.run_await` instead of just `example.run`
* Only `PromiseV2` is supported (`PromiseV1` may work, but you should migrate your application to use `PromiseV2` nevertheless, in Opal 2.0 it will become the default)
- Drop a requirement of `opal-sprockets`
* Sprockets support is still provided, but you need to manually `require "opal/rspec/sprockets"`
## 0.8.0 - 2021-12-01
- Support for Opal v1.x
- Fix some x-srting semicolon warnings
- Fix forwarding the exit code to the rake task
## 0.7.1 - 2019-02-04
- add a project initializer: `opal-rspec --init`
## 0.7.0 - 2019-02-03
- Drop support for the legacy async syntax
- Complete internal overhaul
- Support for Opal v0.11
## 0.6.1 - 2017-05-25
- Fixed compatibility with Rake 12
- Open up to opal 0.11 (not officially supported yet)
## 0.6.0 - 2016-08-29
- Support for Opal 0.8/0.9 removed
- Opal 0.10 support
- Arity checking enabled by default
- Dropped support for PhantomJS < 2.0
- Removed `Kernel#caller` monkey patch so test file/line metadata is only available if supplied via test metadata or for failures. Should improve performance since an exception isn't thrown for every test to gather the data
## 0.5.0 - 2015-12-08
- By default, any subject, it example block, before(:each), after(:each), and around that returns a promise will be executed asynchronously. Async is NOT yet supported for context level hooks. Async approach from < 0.4.3 will still work.
- Update to RSpec 3.1 (core is 3.1.7, expectations/support 3.1.2, mocks 3.1.3)
- Opal 0.9 compatibility
- A lot more aspects of RSpec should work now as 20+ Opal pull requests were completed from opal-rspec work
- Remove copy of source from opal-rspec git repo (and just rely on git submodule fetch)
- Rake task improvements:
- supports passing a test pattern (include and exclude) and FileLists besides 'spec/**/*_spec.rb
- colors, formatter, and additional requires can be supplied from the command line via the SPEC_OPTS environment variable
- Formatters:
- Fixed issues with RSpec's BaseTextFormatter and made ProgressFormatter the default when run via the Rake task
- Fix redundant messages with expectation fails
- Browser formatter now works w/ progress bar and has a 'Dump to console' link that will put a clickable stack trace for a failed example in the browser console
- JSON formatter supported
- Fixed issues with constants/example group naming
- Basic nodejs runner support
- A lot more matchers enabled
* PhantomJS 2.0 compatibility (also still compatible with 1.9.8). Thanks to @aost. Closes out https://github.com/opal/opal-rspec/issues/42
