Test adapter

[atmos]

This is useful for testing standalone scripts. It has a simple array to capture responses availables as #history.

It looks like this in your tests.

Path  = require("path")
Robot = require("hubot").Robot

pkg = require Path.join __dirname, "..", 'package.json'
testAdapter = Path.join(__dirname, "adapters")

Version = pkg.version

describe "The Hubot Script", () ->
  robot = null
  beforeEach () ->
    robot = new Robot testAdapter, "test", false, "hubot"
    robot.loadFile  Path.join(__dirname, "..", "src"), "script.coffee"
    robot.run()

  afterEach () ->
    robot.shutdown()

  it "displays the version", () ->
    robot.adapter.receiveText("hubot deploy:version")
    expected = "hubot-deploy v#{Version}/hubot v2.7.5/node v0.10.21"
    assert.equal expected, robot.adapter.history

This line is actually a lie. I don't know how to specify the path here.

I think this only worked because hubot-deploy had this in a directory somewhere 😓

bin/hubot is the thing that actually determines this path: https://github.com/github/hubot/blob/master/bin/hubot#L73-L75

[technicalpickles]

omg thank you 💖

Also worth noting that https://github.com/blalor/hubot-mock-adapter is a thing. Not sure how it differs yet.

[technicalpickles]

robot.adapter.history is an array, right?

[technicalpickles]

Hmm... I wonder if we could use this to support running a single hubot command. cc #613 @patcon

I found this and I'm digging it.

[technicalpickles]

It doesn't actually depend on hubot, so maybe we can actually use that internally. But maybe that'd be weird?

[technicalpickles]

Hwhoops, was reading dev dependencies, and it does depend on hubot. It'd still be nice to internal for testing still.

[atmos]

Feel free to run with this. I'll let you guys decide. 😃

[atmos]

Maybe we pull in the changes in the repo I linked to? I'm using it and kinda like it.

[patcon]

Heyo! So... is the consensus that hubot-test-helper is better than hubot-mock-adapter? Have used the latter, but not the former. Was going to add some tests to a repo, and then submit the change to generator-hubot-scripts if it seemed simpler.

[atmos]

I'm pretty happy with it, personally.

[patcon]

Rockin. Don't suppose you've had a chance to test notifier scripts using the router? If you have and could point me to a reference, that'd be grand. But otherwise, I'll figure it out and doc it afterward
