In which we handle some escape codes, or rather have someone else handle them.

Ring completeness

So first we write the other three tests to complete the RequireMakeRecallReagent tests: We need the reagent but don’t have it, we don’t need it but do have it, and we do need it and do have it. Not too difficult.

A truly sad path:

270
271
272
273

And I cast the warmed spell
Then My spellbook exploded
And I do not have a recall ring in my "left" hand
And I do not have a recall ring in my "right" hand

And now:

29 scenarios (29 passed)
213 steps (213 passed)
5m23.449s

Process that output

Paging through the debug output from some of these tests, it’s clear that I need to start handling the ANSI escape codes.

Ruby gems to the rescue: turns out there’s an ansi-sys gem that handles the escape codes. With the latest version being published in 2007, I wondered if it would actually work with modern Ruby; and in fact it did not. But I found a more modern fork which did work when I downloaded and installed it.

With a small amount of tweaking, not too bad for embedding in blog posts and/or html test results. I’ll have to figure out how to fold it into my test process in a portable way. Tomorrow.
