Jekyll Theme Specs

This gem is a simple wrap up of behavior-driven (BDD) validations borrowed from the original source code of Jekyll. The only reason it has been extracted into a gem is to be able to validate gem-based themes for Jekyll using Jekyll's original validation tools & techniques.

All the credits belong to Jekyll's contributors & maintainers. Again, this gem is a carbon-copy of what is already available in Jekyll's code base in a bit more reusable package.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll's Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-theme-specs'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-theme-specs

Usage

At this point the tool makes quite a few assumptions and very rigid in terms of the configuration options available.

  • All your features MUST be placed in features folder (Cucumber default);
  • Before running your theme's specs, it is a MUST to run bundle or bundle install;
  • Always run the tool via Bundler, eq. bundle exec theme-specs;
  • You can opt-in for more concise reporting style (Jekyll's favorite) by using -f Jekyll::Cucumber::Formatter option, eq. bundle exec theme-specs -f Jekyll::Cucumber::Formatter;

There is also minima-theme-specs repository that is a work in progress of building minima theme validations. We will start with a few simple things and expand coverage further.
