Deprecation notice

This gem is not longer actively maintained, I suggest using theses alternatives instead:

Sample Output

Sample Output of PigCI in TravisCI

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

ruby
group :test do gem 'pig-ci-rails' end

And then execute:

bash
$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

bash
$ gem install pig-ci-rails

Usage

On it's own

ruby
# In spec/rails_helper.rb require 'pig_ci' PigCI.start

Configuring thresholds

Configuring the thresholds will allow your test suite to fail in CI. You will need to configure the thresholds depending on your application.

ruby
# In spec/rails_helper.rb require 'pig_ci' PigCI.start do |config| # Maximum memory in megabytes config.thresholds.memory = 350 # Maximum time per a HTTP request config.thresholds.request_time = 250 # Maximum database calls per a request config.thresholds.database_request = 35 end if RSpec.configuration.files_to_run.count > 1

Configuring other options

This gems was setup to be configured by passing a block to the PigCI.start method, e.g:

ruby
# In spec/rails_helper.rb require 'pig_ci' PigCI.start do |config| config.option = 'new_value' # E.g. disable terminal summary output config.generate_terminal_summary = false # Rails caches repeated SQL queries, you might want to omit these from your report. config.ignore_cached_queries = true end # if RSpec.configuration.files_to_run.count > 1

You can see the full configuration options lib/pig_ci.rb.

Skipping individual tests

If you have a scenario where you'd like PigCI to not log a specific test, you can add the RSpec metadata pig_ci: true. For example:

ruby
RSpec.describe "Comments", type: :request do # This test block will be not be tracked. describe "GET #index", pig_ci: false do it do get comments_path expect(response).to be_successful end end end

Framework support

Currently this gem only supports Ruby on Rails tested via RSpec.

Metric notes

Minor fluctuations in memory usage and request time are to be expected and are nothing to worry about. Though any large spike is a signal of something worth investigating.

Memory

By default, this gem will tell Rails to eager load your application on startup. This aims to help identify leaks, over just pure bulk.

You can disable this functionality by setting your configuration to be:

ruby
require 'pig_ci' PigCI.start do |config| config.during_setup_eager_load_application = false end

Request Time

Often the first request test will be slow, as rails is loading a full environment & rendering assets. To mitigate this issue, this gem will make a blank request to your application before your test suite starts & compiling assets.

You can disable this functionality by setting your configuration to be:

ruby
require 'pig_ci' PigCI.start do |config| config.during_setup_make_blank_application_request = false config.during_setup_precompile_assets = false end

Authors

  • This gem was made by @MikeRogers0.
  • It was originally inspired by oink, after it was used to monitor acceptance tests and it spotted a memory leak. It seemed like something that would be useful to have as part of CI.
  • The HTML output was inspired by simplecov.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
