require 'greenletters'
adv = Greenletters::Process.new("adventure", :transcript => $stdout)
# Install a handler which may be triggered at any time
adv.on(:output, /welcome to adventure/i) do |process, match_data|
adv << "no\n"
end
puts "Starting adventure..."
adv.start!
# Wait for the specified pattern before proceeding
adv.wait_for(:output, /you are standing at the end of a road/i)
adv << "east\n"
adv.wait_for(:output, /inside a building/i)
adv << "quit\n"
adv.wait_for(:output, /really want to quit/i)
adv << "yes\n"
adv.wait_for(:exit)
puts "Adventure has exited."Or, in Cucumber format:
Given process activity is logged to "greenletters.log" Given a process "adventure" from command "adventure" Given I reply "no" to output "Would you like instructions?" from process "adventure" Given I reply "yes" to output "Do you really want to quit" from process "adventure" When I execute the process "adventure" Then I should see the following output from process "adventure": """ You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully. """ When I enter "east" into process "adventure" Then I should see the following output from process "adventure": """ You are inside a building, a well house for a large spring. """
Greenletters is a console interaction automation library similar to GNU Expect. You can use it to script interactions with command-line programs.
Because Ruby’s built-in expect.rb is pretty underpowered and I wanted to drive command-line applications from Ruby, not TCL.
Greenletters is by Avdi Grimm.

Greenletters uses the pty.rb library under the covers to create a UNIX pseudoterminal under Ruby’s control. Of course, this means that it is MacOSX/Linux/*NIX-only; Windows users need not apply.
The advantage of using a PTY is that any output - including output written to the console instead of STDOUT/STDERR - will be captured by Greenletters.
To use the Cucumber steps in your own feature files, put the following in your env.rb:
