I'm not aware of any Ruby GUI testing framework for Cocoa apps, but I think one could roll something out using MacRuby and the Mac OS X accessibility APIs. Another solution would be to use Apple Events, but not every application is fully scriptable.

Hi all,

I've recently been reading the excellent book "Scripted GUI Testing with Ruby". It's a great book, but a little bit dated. The GUI testing framework developed throughout the book uses either the Windows API or JRuby/Swing API underneath the hood for the actual GUI interaction. I like this framework a good deal, and would like to use it for a MacRuby appplication, and although I'm sure I could build a similar framework by hand myself, I'm wondering if anyone else has already done so?

Do you know of any GUI testing frameworks that work with MacRuby? Preferably one that can be driven by Cucumber and RSpec?

Thanks!

It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.
