Usage of configuration

You can configure aruba in two ways:

  1. Using Aruba.configure-block
  2. Using aruba.config.<option> = <value>

The first (1.) should be used to set defaults for ALL your tests. It changes
values on loadtime. The latter (2.) should be used to change options only for
specific tests during runtime. aruba.config contains the runtime
configuration of aruba which is reset to the loadtime configuration before
each test is run.

Background
Given
I use a fixture named "cli-app"
And
an executable named "bin/aruba-test-cli" with: 
#!/bin/bash
trap "exit 128" SIGTERM SIGINT
sleep $*
Scenarios
  1. Setting default values for option for RSpec
  2. Setting option during runtime for RSpec
  3. Setting default values for option for Cucumber
  4. Setting option during runtime for Cucumber
Setting default values for option for RSpec
Given
a file named "spec/support/aruba.rb" with: 
require 'aruba/rspec'

Aruba.configure do |config|
  config.exit_timeout = 1
end
And
a file named "spec/usage_configuration_spec.rb" with: 
require 'spec_helper'

RSpec.describe 'Run command', :type => :aruba do
  context 'when fast command' do
    before(:each) { run('cli 0') }
    it { expect(last_command_started).to be_successfully_executed }
  end

  context 'when slow command' do
    before(:each) { run('cli 2') }
    it { expect(last_command_started).not_to be_successfully_executed }
  end
end
When
I run rspec
Then
the specs should all pass
Setting option during runtime for RSpec

Maybe there are some long running tests, which need longer. You may not
want to set the default timeout for all commands to the maximum value only
to prevent those commands from failing.

Given
a file named "spec/support/aruba.rb" with: 
require 'aruba/rspec'

Aruba.configure do |config|
  config.exit_timeout = 1
end
And
a file named "spec/support/hooks.rb" with: 
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before :each do |example|
    next unless example.metadata.key? :slow_command

    aruba.config.exit_timeout = 5
  end
end
And
a file named "spec/usage_configuration_spec.rb" with: 
require 'spec_helper'

RSpec.describe 'Run command', :type => :aruba do
  context 'when fast command' do
    before(:each) { run('cli 0') }
    it { expect(last_command_started).to be_successfully_executed }
  end

  context 'when slow command and this is known by the developer', :slow_command => true do
    before(:each) { run('cli 2') }
    it { expect(last_command_started).to be_successfully_executed }
  end

  context 'when slow command, but this might be a failure' do
    before(:each) { run('cli 2') }
    it { expect(last_command_started).not_to be_successfully_executed }
  end
end

Setting default values for option for Cucumber
Given
a file named "features/support/aruba.rb" with: 
require 'aruba/cucumber'

Aruba.configure do |config|
  config.exit_timeout = 1
end
And
a file named "features/run.feature" with: 
Feature: Run it
  Scenario: Fast command
    When I run cli 0
    Then the exit status should be 0

  Scenario: Slow command
    When I run cli 2
    Then the exit status should be 128
When
I run cucumber
Then
the features should all pass

end
And
a file named "features/usage_configuration.feature" with: 
Feature: Run it
  Scenario: Fast command
    When I run cli 0
    Then the exit status should be 0

  @slow-command
  Scenario: Slow command known by the developer
    When I run cli 2
    Then the exit status should be 0

  Scenario: Slow command which might be a failure
    When I run cli 3
    Then the exit status should be 128
When
I run cucumber
Then
the features should all pass
