# Async::RSpec

Provides useful `RSpec.shared_context`s for testing code that builds on top of [async](https://github.com/socketry/async).

[![Development Status](https://github.com/socketry/async-rspec/workflows/Test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/socketry/async-rspec/actions?workflow=Test)

## Installation

``` shell
$ bundle add async-rspec
```

Then add this require statement to the top of `spec/spec_helper.rb`

``` ruby
require 'async/rspec'
```

## Usage

### Async Reactor

Many specs need to run within a reactor. A shared context is provided which includes all the relevant bits, including the above leaks checks. If your spec fails to run in less than 10 seconds, an `Async::TimeoutError` raises to prevent your test suite from hanging.

``` ruby
require 'async/io'

RSpec.describe Async::IO do
	include_context Async::RSpec::Reactor
	
	let(:pipe) {IO.pipe}
	let(:input) {Async::IO::Generic.new(pipe.first)}
	let(:output) {Async::IO::Generic.new(pipe.last)}
	
	it "should send and receive data within the same reactor" do
		message = nil
		
		output_task = reactor.async do
			message = input.read(1024)
		end
		
		reactor.async do
			output.write("Hello World")
		end
		
		output_task.wait
		expect(message).to be == "Hello World"
		
		input.close
		output.close
	end
end
```

### Changing Timeout

You can change the timeout by specifying it as an option:

``` ruby
RSpec.describe MySlowThing, timeout: 60 do
	# ...
end
```

### File Descriptor Leaks

Leaking sockets and other kinds of IOs are a problem for long running services. `Async::RSpec::Leaks` tracks all open sockets both before and after the spec. If any are left open, a `RuntimeError` is raised and the spec fails.

``` ruby
RSpec.describe "leaky ios" do
	include_context Async::RSpec::Leaks
	
	# The following fails:
	it "leaks io" do
		@input, @output = IO.pipe
	end
end
```

In some cases, the Ruby garbage collector will close IOs. In the above case, it's possible that just writing `IO.pipe` will not leak as Ruby will garbage collect the resulting IOs immediately. It's still incorrect to not close IOs, so don't depend on this behaviour.

### Allocations

This functionality was moved to [`rspec-memory`](https://github.com/socketry/rspec-memory).
