First Post!

Every blog needs a first post, so let's start with a good citation:

Mankind, probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of open questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we believe to know? Why do we believe anything at all? Innumerable questions looking for an answer, an answer which will raise the next question and the following answer will raise a following question and so on and so forth. But in the end, isn't it always the same question and always the same answer?
A football is round, a game lasts 90 minutes. That's for sure. Anything else is merely hypothetical. Off we go!

EasyB story fixed

The EasyB forums where helpful, and explained me that you can't mix the "given/when/then" and the "before/it" styles in the same story. That's what was causing the error. With that fixed, I moved the more complex scenarios in their own file, and everything comipiles and runs fine, with one exception: an older scenario fails. I committed anyway, but I'm investigating the original problem. I'm suspecting something is not quite coherent along all the examples, but I can't yet put my finger on it. In the meantime, I've created the equivalent Scala/specs project. It'll be interesting to test how it feels like...

Eclipse + Groovy + EasyB + Maven...

So, in order to teach my coworkers BDD, I have to try it myself! Let's start with Groovy, that can be easier for them (and me!) than Scala. We'll try Scala later. To be really hip, why must set up the whole toolchain: Eclipse (Galileo M4, of course! it'll release in 5 days!) Groovy (1.6.1, in case we venture in Google AppEngine territory) Maven (you hate or love it. Sometimes both. But it's a consistent way to make you keep your tests honest, so you can compile). EasyB (Let's give it a try!) So, let's choose an interesting problem: http://schuchert.wikispaces.com/Rpn+Calculator+High+Level+Description Set up a BitBucket repo (Mercurial rocks!), just in case: https://michelemauro@bitbucket.org/michelemauro/rpncalc/ And let's start coding...

Still no clues...

The code is in the repository, but it still doesn't run all the stories. I don't want to unit test all the stories inputs, though: it will defeat easyb's pourpose. I'm trying a pair of things seen in the forums, and eventually post a question there.
