Re: [Vala] GTest

["Daniel Lucraft" <dan fluentradical com>]

I'm sure this isn't for everyone, but I've been using Valar
(http://github.com/danlucraft/valar/tree/master) to generate Ruby
bindings for my Vala library, and then using RSpec to test it.

Example of vala code under test:
      http://github.com/danlucraft/gtkmateview/tree/master/lib/range_set.vala
Example of RSpec test code:
      http://github.com/danlucraft/gtkmateview/tree/master/spec/range_set_spec.rb

There is no other configuration needed as the bindings from RangeSet
to Ruby are generated automatically as part of the build process. This
makes development fairly seamless.

If anyone wants to get this working I can provide an example build
script (there is little documentation).

best,
Dan
