Expand paths with aruba

There are quite a few uses cases why you want to expand a path. aruba helps
you with this by providing you the expand_path-method. This method expands
paths relative to the aruba.current_directory-directory.

Background

Given: I use the fixture "cli-app"

Scenarios

Use relative path
Change directory using cd
Warn if aruba's working directory does not exist
Use ~ in path

Use relative path

Given

a file named "spec/expand_path_spec.rb" with:

require 'spec_helper'

RSpec.describe 'Expand path', :type => :aruba do
  let(:path) { 'path/to/dir' }
  it { expect(expand_path(path)).to eq File.join(aruba.root_directory, aruba.current_directory, path) }
end

When

I run rspec

Then

the specs should all pass

Change directory using cd

Given

a file named "spec/expand_path_spec.rb" with:

require 'spec_helper'

RSpec.describe 'Expand path', :type => :aruba do
  let(:path) { 'path/to/dir' }
  let(:directory) { 'dir1' }

  before(:each) { create_directory(directory) }
  before(:each) { cd(directory) }

  it { expect(expand_path(path)).to eq File.join(aruba.root_directory, aruba.current_directory, path) }
end

When

I run rspec

Then

the specs should all pass

Warn if aruba's working directory does not exist

Given

a file named "spec/expand_path_spec.rb" with:

require 'spec_helper'

RSpec.describe 'Expand path', :type => :aruba do
  before(:each) { remove('.') }

  let(:path) { 'path/to/dir' }

  it { expect { expand_path(path) }.to output(/working directory does not exist/).to_stderr }
end

When

I run rspec

Then

the specs should all pass

Use ~ in path

Now this useses the HOME-variable from your normal shell HOME-variable.
From 1.0.0 on HOME will be File.join(aruba.config.root_directory, aruba.config.working_directory). If you want HOME have some other value,
you need to configure it explicitly via Aruba.configure {}.

Given

a file named "spec/expand_path_spec.rb" with:

require 'spec_helper'

# Old before 1.0.0
RSpec.describe 'Expand path', :type => :aruba do
  let(:path) { '~/path/to/dir' }

  it { expect(expand_path(path)).to match %r</home/[^/]+/path/to/dir> }
end

# New from 1.0.0
RSpec.describe 'Expand path', :type => :aruba do
  let(:path) { '~/path/to/dir' }

  before(:each) do
    set_environment_variable('HOME', File.join(aruba.config.root_directory, aruba.config.working_directory))
  end

  it { expect(expand_path(path)).to eq File.join(aruba.config.root_directory, aruba.config.working_directory, 'path/to/dir') }
end

When

I run rspec

Then

the specs should all pass
