you can ssh into a computer and run the tests, you can automate you can ssh into a computer and run the tests, you can automate
the distribution with Hydra. the distribution with Hydra.
== Usage == Usage and Configuration
In your rakefile: Check out the wiki for usage and configuration information:
require 'hydra' http://wiki.github.com/ngauthier/hydra/
require 'hydra/tasks'
Hydra::TestTask.new('hydra') do |t| I've tried hard to keep accurate documentation via RDoc as well:
t.add_files 'test/unit/**/*_test.rb'
t.add_files 'test/functional/**/*_test.rb'
t.add_files 'test/integration/**/*_test.rb'
end
Run: http://rdoc.info/projects/ngauthier/hydra
$ rake hydra
Hydra defaults to Single Core mode, so you may want to configure it
to use two (or more) of your cores if you have a multi-processing machine.
== Hydra + Cucumber
Hydra can run cucumber features, but because of cucumber's specialized
environment, cucumber features have to be run after your other tests or
as a separate task.
Hydra::TestTask.new('hydra') do |t|
t.add_files 'test/unit/**/*_test.rb'
t.add_files 'test/functional/**/*_test.rb'
t.add_files 'test/integration/**/*_test.rb'
# cucumber
t.autosort = false
t.add_files 'features/**/*.feature'
end
Hydra's autosort feature sorts files by their runtime, so we
have to disable it in order to run cucumber features at the end
== Hydra + Rspec
Easy peasy!
Hydra::TestTask.new('hydra') do |t|
t.add_files 'spec/**/*_spec.rb'
end

== Running Remote Tasks
You can run tasks across all of your remote workers easily with Hydra. In your rake file, add:
Hydra::RemoteTask.new('db:reset')
Then you can run:
rake hydra:remote:db:reset
== Running Global Tasks
A Global task is a task run locally *and* remotely. It's used in the same way as RemoteTask:
Hydra::GlobalTask.new('db:reset')
But it is invoked in a higher namespace:
rake hydra:db:reset
== Configuration
Place the config file in the main project directory as
'hydra.yml' or 'config/hydra.yml'.
=== Examples
==== Dual Core
workers:
- type: local
runners: 2
==== Dual Core, with a remote Quad Core server
The -p3022 tells it to connect on a different port
workers:
- type: local
runners: 2
- type: ssh
connect: user@example.com
ssh_opts: -p3022
directory: /absolute/path/to/project
runners: 4
==== Two Remote Quad Cores with Synchronization
You can use the 'sync' configuration to allow rsync to synchronize
the local and remote directories every time you run hydra.
workers:
- type: ssh
connect: user@alpha.example.com
directory: /path/to/project/on/alpha/
runners: 4
- type: ssh
connect: user@beta.example.com
directory: /path/to/project/on/beta/
runners: 4
sync:
directory: /my/local/project/directory
exclude:
- tmp
- log
- doc
=== Workers Options
==== type
Either "local" or "ssh".
==== runners
The *runners* option is how many processes will be running
on the machine. It's best to pick the same number
as the number of cores on that machine (as well as your
own).
=== SSH Options
==== connect
The *connect* option is passed to SSH. So if you've setup an
ssh config alias to a server, you can use that. It is also
used in rsync, so you cannot use options.
==== ssh_opts
The *ssh_opts* option is passed to SSH and to Rsync's RSH so
that you can use the same ssh options for connecting and rsync.
Use ssh_opts to set the port or compression options.
==== directory
The *directory* option is the path for the project directory
where the tests should be run.
=== Using Hydra::Listeners
Hydra comes with a couple of listeners for the events it fires. By
default, Hydra::Listener::MinimalOutput is used to display the
files being tests and the ./F/E for each file and F/E output.
It also uses Hydra::Listener::ReportGenerator to generate reports
of the test files to that it can order them by their run times.
To use another listener, just add a listeners node to the config file.
For example, if you are on Ubuntu Linux (or have access to the
notify-send command) you can add a notifier listener like this:
listeners:
- Hydra::Listener::Notifier.new
Note that if you make a listener node, the default listeners will be
overridden, so you will no longer have the standard minimal output
unless you do:
listeners:
- Hydra::Listener::Notifier.new
- Hydra::Listener::MinimalOutput.new
Listeners take one argument to their contstructor: an IO object. So,
you can easily output Hydra to a variety of log files. For example:
listeners:
- Hydra::Listener::ReportGenerator.new(File.new('/home/ngauthier/Desktop/hydra_log.yml', 'w'))
