IronRuby 0.5 was released yesterday. You can download it on codeplex. This post will explain how you setup your ironruby environment to use it for testing existing CLR based assemblies. We’ll touch installing gems using rake and most importantly writing a test for a CLR based class where we’ll mock out the dependencies.

The last couple of days I’ve been getting Caricature to a more releasable state. The code got a thorough cleanup and refactor. Caricature now knows how to be a full mocking framework for Ruby classes and CLR classes that only interact with ruby objects. When I apply the 80/20 rule to caricature it’s definitely beta worthy.
As you may or may not know I’m in the process of building IronRubyMvc. At one point I did write a bunch of tests in for the code I had at that point. However that test code was written in C# with xunit and moq. I wasn’t too happy about that so I deferred writing tests to a later date when I could use a Ruby library to write them.
That time has come, I can use bacon and it’s acceptable performance wise now, not stellar but workable. So when I started to port some of my previously written tests to bacon I ran into a road block. Mocking isn’t as straightforward as my optimistic self was expecting. This lead me to think about what exactly does a mocking framework do?
