We are pleased to announce aruba version 0.11.1. For a detailed list of changes, please have a look at our History.md or use the diffing feature of Github.

Notable Changes

• Refactored and improved documentation (feature tests) in PR #309
• Reorder rubies in .travis.yml
• Integrate EventBus to decouple announcers from starting, stopping commands etc. This uses nearly the same implementation like cucumber. (PR #309)
• Starting/Stopping a command directly (command.start, command.stop) is now reported to the command monitor and last_command_stopped is updated correctly
• Added #restart to Command to make it possible to restart a command
• Added check to prevent a command which has already been started, to be started again. Otherwise you've got hidden commands which are not stopped after a cucumber/rspec/minitest run.
• Adding a lot of documentation to aruba
• Refactored #run: Now it wants you to pass a Hash containing the options. The old syntax is still supported, but is deprecated.
• Added #find_command as experimental feature. It searches the started commands from last to first.
• Added be_an_executable matcher
• Set stop signal which should be used to stop a process after a timeout or used to terminate a process. This can be used to stop processes running docker + "systemd". If you send a systemd-enable container SIGINT it will be stopped.
• Added a configurable amount of time after a command was started - startup_wait_time. Otherwise you get problems when a process takes to long to startup when you run in background and want to sent it a signal.
• Replace <variable> in commandline, e.g. <pid-last-command-started> [experimental]
• Added announce formatter for time spans, e.g. startup_wait_time
• All *Process-classes e.g. BasicProcess, SpawnProcess etc. are marked as private. Users should use #run('cmd') and don't use the classes directly.
• rvm-methods are deprecated. They too ruby specific.
