Module: Accessibility::SystemInfo

Extended by:
SystemInfo
Included in:
SystemInfo
Defined in:
lib/accessibility/system_info.rb

Overview

Interface for collecting some simple information about the system. This information may be useful as diagnostic output when running tests, or if you simply need to find the hostname of the machine so it can be passed to another process to initiate a connection.

This module extends itself, so all methods are available on the module and you will want to use the module as a utility module.

Instance Method Details

#addresses ⇒ Array<String>

All IP addresses the system has interfaces for

Examples:


Accessibility::SystemInfo.addresses
  # => ["fe80::6aa8:6dff:fe20:822%en1", "192.168.0.17", "fe80::1%lo0", "127.0.0.1", "::1"]

Returns:

# File 'lib/accessibility/system_info.rb', line 62

def addresses
  NSHost.currentHost.addresses
end

#battery_charge_level ⇒ Float Also known as: battery_level

Returns the charge percentage of the battery (if present)

A special value of -1.0 is returned if you have no battery.

Examples:


battery_charge_level # => 1.0
# unplug AC cord and wait a couple of minutes
battery_charge_level # => 0.99

# if you have no battery
battery_charge_level # => -1.0

Returns:

  • (Float) 


203
204
205
 
# File 'lib/accessibility/system_info.rb', line 203

def battery_charge_level
  Battery.level
end

#battery_life_estimate ⇒ Fixnum

Return an estimate on the number of minutes until the battery is drained

A special value of 0 indicates that the battery is not discharging. You should really only call this after you know that the battery is discharging by calling #battery_state and having :discharging returned.

A special value of -1 is returned when the estimate is in flux and cannot be accurately estimated.

Examples:


# AC cord plugged in
battery_life_estimate # => 0
# unplug AC cord
battery_life_estimate # => -1
# wait a few minutes
battery_life_estimate # => 423

Returns:

  • (Fixnum)

# File 'lib/accessibility/system_info.rb', line 228

def battery_life_estimate
  Battery.time_to_empty
end

#battery_state ⇒ Symbol

Return the current state of the battery

Examples:


battery_state # => :charged
# unplug AC cord
battery_state # => :discharging
# plug AC cord back in after several minutes
battery_state # => :charging

# try this method when you have no battery
battery_state # => :not_installed

Returns:

  • (Symbol)
