[MacRuby-devel] GUI Testing

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Jason,

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.

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?
