This is the first public release of Kwala. [http://kwala.rubyforge.org](http://kwala.rubyforge.org) Kwala is a command line build tool to check the "quality" of Ruby source code. It is composed of various actions that perform different types of checks against the code such as code duplication, cyclomatic complexity, code coverage, unit tests, lines of code, various formatting checks and require cycles. The results are then presented in an HTML summary page and detailed pages for reference. Kwala has been in use for a large project for over a year, but this is the first public release of it. If you have any problems installing or running the application please let me know. Any feedback or additional actions are appreciated. Zev ---

This looks great! Will it work in windows? I'm on XP with 1.8.5. I installed amrita and kwala with their respective setup.rb's. At first I couldn't get it to find kwala: C:\Documents\CCC\spt\source\canada-branch\>kwala 'kwala' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. same for ruby kwala, kwala.bat.. But I got it by specifying the entire path. Now I get: C:\Documents\CCC\spt\source\canada-branch\>ruby c:\Development\ruby\bin\kwala -p spt -d . -o builds -a syntax\_check -a fo rmatting -a unit\_test -a cyclomatic -a cycles c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/kwala/actions/unit\_test.rb:101:in ``': No such file or directory - /usr/bin/e nv ruby -v (Errno::ENOENT)         from c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/kwala/actions/unit\_test.rb:101:in `ruby\_version'         from c:/development/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/kwala/actions/unit\_test.rb:69:in `summary\_display'         from c:/Development/ruby/bin/kwala:164         from c:/Development/ruby/bin/kwala:163:in `each'         from c:/Development/ruby/bin/kwala:163 /usr/bin/env looks like it's expecting a \*nix environment so I tried it in cygwin, unfortunately couldn't get it to find kwala at all: Andrew Roth@andrewlaptop /cygdrive/c/Documents/CCC/spt/source/canada-branch $ ruby /cygdrive/c/Development/ruby/bin/kwala c:\development\ruby\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- /cygdrive/c/Devel opment/ruby/bin/kwala (LoadError) -Andrew Zev Blut wrote: > **···** > > > This is the first public release of Kwala. > > > > [http://kwala.rubyforge.org](http://kwala.rubyforge.org) > > > > Kwala is a command line build tool to check the "quality" of Ruby > > source code.

At the moment there are a few assumptions for /usr/bin/env with various applications that I call from Kwala. Unfortunately, I do not have a Windows machine to test with. If anyone has some suggestions on how to better use setup.rb for a Windows environment I am all ears. Thanks, Zev > **···** > > On Thu, 14 Dec 2006 06:00:07 +0900, Andrew Roth \ wrote:
