Test Suite

How to

You can run the CodeRay test suite if you have Ruby, Bundler, Git, and Subversion. I assume you also have a color terminal then :P

git clone git://github.com/rubychan/coderay.git
cd coderay

Run the basic test suite:

rake

and the scanner tests (will download from separate repository):

rake test:scanners

Wait for it to finish. Dots are good, E’s and F’s are bad. (Segmentation fault is very bad.)

Relevance

CodeRay has an extensive test suite with megabytes of example code. It is a nice target for Ruby implementations, since it stresses the possibilities of StringScanner and RegExp (as of Ruby 1.8) to the max.

It is also a nice benchmark, and has been used by the JRuby team and others to compare Ruby implementations.

Yes, it’s quite colorful :D
