Inside the Counterterrorism Campaigns that Killed bin Laden and Devastated Al QaedaOn 9/11 the U.S. had effectively no counterterrorism doctrine. Fast forward ten years: Osama bin Laden is dead; al Qaeda is organizationally ruined and pinned in the tribal areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan; there has been no major attack on American soil; and while there has been at least one instance of a massive planned attack, it was crushed by the greatest international collaboration of
Though U.S. leaders try to convince the world of their success in fighting al Qaeda, one anonymous member of the U.S. intelligence community would like to inform the public that we are, in fact, losing the war on terror. Further, until U.S. leaders recognize the errant path they have irresponsibly chosen, he says, our enemies will only grow stronger. According to the author, the greatest danger

A simple and accurate model for microstrip structures with slotted ground planePublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 133 - 135
Cited by: Papers (36) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (264 KB) | | HTML
A simple and accurate circuit model for microstrip filtering structures with slotted ground plane is presented. The unit cell model consists of a series inductance and shunt capacitance for the microstrip line, an ideal transmission line characterized by its impedance and electrical length for the slot, and an ideal transformer to model coupling to the slot. The coupling mechanism to the slots resonances and subsequent emergence of transmission gaps is explained for different positions of the microstrip line. Excellent agreement with measurement is demonstrated over the broad bandwidth of dc to 20 GHz. View full abstract»

Cited by: Papers (26) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (128 KB) | | HTML
Usually a defected ground plane structure (DGS) provides only a band-reject response. However, in this work we introduce a simple band-accept circuit element in the DGS and developed a microstrip stub type compact 3-pole bandpass filter (BPF) at 4.2 GHz. The BPF has bandwidth and insertion loss 38% and 0.6 dB respectively. It has better than 25 dB rejection in the stopband up to 12 GHz. View full abstract»

Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (216 KB) | | HTML
A through-resistor (TR) calibration procedure is proposed for parameter extraction and accurate modeling of planar discontinuities and circuits by using a full-wave technique such as method of moments (MoM). This new scheme allows the effective use of a commercial electromagnetic field simulator in removing inherent numerical noises or errors in simulation, and making the parameter extraction for circuit models. A microstrip open-end and a microstrip gap are studied and effectiveness of this new scheme is verified. View full abstract»
A flip-chip packaged coplanar 94 GHz amplifier module with efficient suppression of parasitic substrate effectsPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 145 - 147
Cited by: Papers (8)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (209 KB) | | HTML
A flip-chip mounted W-band amplifier module with more than 15 dB gain between 82 and 105 GHz has been developed, based on a 0.15 μm GaAs PHEMT technology. To predict the influence of the flip-chip transition, an equivalent circuit model of the flip-chip interconnects was developed. Lossy silicon (n-Si) flip-chip carriers were used to successfully minimize parasitic substrate modes and feed back effects. The flip-chip assembled coplanar 94 GHz amplifier MMIC was packaged in a WR-10 waveguide mount, using CPW-to-waveguide transitions realized on quartz substrates. View full abstract»

Cited by: Papers (78) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (208 KB) | | HTML
This letter presents the design of a compact Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) suitable for cellular telephone applications. The quarter-wavelength antenna combines the use of a slot, shorted parasitic patches and capacitive loads to achieve multiband operation. The commercial electromagnetic software IE3D is used to design and optimize the structure. The resulting antenna can operate from 880 to 960 MHz and 1710 to 2170 MHz covering GSM, DCS, PCS, and UMTS standards with a VSWR better than 2.5. Good agreement is found between simulated and measured results. View full abstract»
Improving accuracy of FDTD simulations in layered biological tissuesPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 151 - 152
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (96 KB) | | HTML
This letter demonstrates a possibility of improving accuracy of the continuous wave steady-state FDTD prediction of the EM field distribution in the layered biological tissues by reducing the numerical dispersion error via appropriate direct modification of the constitutive parameters of the tissues. The attractiveness of the approach lies in that the enhanced accuracy of the FDTD prediction is obtained at the negligible cost of a trivial pre-processing of the material parameters.

An analog compensation method for asymmetric IMD characteristics of power amplifierPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 153 - 155
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (272 KB) | | HTML
The modulation frequency affects the asymmetric intermodulation distortion (IMD) products of a RF power amplifier. This effect reduces IMD cancellation performance of power amplifiers in connection with predistortion linearization. A phase extraction method to determine phase difference between upper and lower third-order IMD products and a phase compensation circuit using an envelope injection technique is proposed. The experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in the third-order IMD cancellation performance. View full abstract»
An ultra-low power InAs/AlSb HEMT Ka-band low-noise amplifierPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 156 - 158
Cited by: Papers (39)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (213 KB) | | HTML
The first antimonide-based compound semiconductor (ABCS) MMIC, a Ka-Band low-noise amplifier using 0.25-μm gate length InAs/AlSb metamorphic HEMTs, has been fabricated and characterized on a 75 μm GaAs substrate. The compact 1.1 mm2 three-stage Ka-band LNA demonstrated an average of 2.1 dB noise-figure between 34-36 GHz with an associated gain of 22 dB. The measured dc power dissipation of the ABCS LNA was an ultra-low 1.5 mW per stage, or 4.5 mW total. This is less than one-tenth the dc power dissipation of a typical equivalent InGaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs HEMT LNA. Operation with degraded gain and noise figure at 1.1 mW total dc power dissipation is also verified. These results demonstrate the outstanding potential of ABCS HEMT technology for mobile and space-based millimeter-wave applications. View full abstract»
A 5 mW and 5% efficiency 210 GHz InP-based heterostructure barrier varactor quintuplerPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 159 - 161
Cited by: Papers (24)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (128 KB) | | HTML
This letter reviews the design, construction, and measurement of a 210 GHz heterostructure barrier varactor frequency quintupler. The quintupler utilizes planar heterostructure barrier varactors (HBVs) based on the InGaAs/InAlAs/AlAs material system and has produced a measured output power of 5.2 mW with 5.2% conversion efficiency at 210 GHz. This performance is comparable to the state-of-the-art results reported in the literature for HBV frequency triplers operating at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. View full abstract»
Low-profile circularly polarized rectifying antenna for wireless power transmission at 5.8 GHzPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 162 - 164
Cited by: Papers (23) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (248 KB) | | HTML
Portable devices operating without batteries are sometimes desired in wireless applications such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and telemetry. A novel circularly polarized shorted annular ring-slot rectenna (rectifying antenna) on a 0.5 mm thick flexible microwave laminate is proposed for the powering of these devices. Output dc voltage of 1.3 V and axial ratio of 1.5 dB were measured when 32 dBm microwave power was transmitted at 5.8 GHz over a distance of 2 m. Comparing the results with a rectenna designed on a thick rigid laminate, similar performance was observed. View full abstract»
Multilevel model order reductionPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 165 - 167
Cited by: Papers (13)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (160 KB) | | HTML
We present a multilevel Model Order Reduction scheme for enhancing numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields by means of grid based techniques. The scheme allows one to create nested macromodels and combine macromodels with the Fast Frequency Sweep. The implementation of the method is illustrated on the Finite Difference Frequency Domain technique and efficient nodal order reduction algorithm (ENOR) but the concept can easily be applied also for other mesh based methods and other order reduction schemes.

On the numerical errors in the 2D FE/FDTD algorithm for different hybridization schemesPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 168 - 170
Cited by: Papers (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (288 KB) | | HTML
Numerical experiments are carried out to study the accuracy of the two-dimensional Finite-Element/Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FE/FDTD) hybrid algorithm with three different hybridization schemes. The physical space is split into two domains viz., the finite difference (FD) and finite element (FE) domains. In the FD domain, a uniform Cartesian grid is used and in the FE domain, triangular elements with edge vector basis functions are used. Newmark-β scheme is used for temporal discretization in the FE domain. The unphysical reflections introduced by the FE domain for the different schemes are compared by computing the 2-D radar cross section of the FE domain surrounded by the FD domain. Computed results of scattering by a PEC circular cylinder for TEz incidence using the three schemes and the traditional FDTD algorithm are presented. View full abstract»
Tunability and bandwidth of microstrip filters fabricated on magnetized ferritesPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 171 - 173
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (152 KB) | | HTML
The method of moments in the spectral domain is applied to the rigorous full-wave analysis of coupled line microstrip filters fabricated on magnetized ferrites. The results show that the center frequency of the filters can be tuned over a wide range by adjusting the magnitude of the bias magnetic field of the ferrite substrates. However, the filters bandwidth is reduced as the tuning frequency increases. This bandwidth reduction is explained in terms of the behavior of the resonant frequencies and quality factors of the resonators included in the filters. View full abstract»
Fast synthesis of coupled-resonator filtersPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 174 - 176
Cited by: Papers (13)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (144 KB) | | HTML
This letter proposes a new quickly converging technique for the synthesis of coupling matrix of cross-coupled resonator filters. The method formulates the synthesis as a nonlinear least squares problem involving the zeroes and poles of short circuit input and output admittances, as well as eigenvalues of the coupling matrix and its principal sub-matrices. The solution is found via a damped Levenberg-Marquardt method with analytically computed gradients. Numerical tests show that coupling matrices for high order pseudo-elliptical filters can be found in surprisingly few optimization steps. View full abstract»

An improved 1D periodic defected ground structure for microstrip linePublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 180 - 182
Cited by: Papers (55)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (200 KB) | | HTML
A novel one-dimensional (1-D) periodic defected ground structure (DGS) for microstrip line is presented in this letter. Different from the periodic DGS with uniform square-patterned defects, the improved periodic DGS has a compensated microstrip line and the dimensions of the square defects are nonuniform and varied proportionally to the relative amplitudes distribution of the exponential function e1n/ (n denotes the positive integer). A uniform periodic DGS circuit and two improved periodic DGS circuits are designed, fabricated, and measured. Measurements show that the latter exhibit more excellent performances by suppressing ripples and enlarging stopband bandwidth. View full abstract»
A reflectodirective system using a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) leaky-wave antenna and heterodyne mixingPublication Year: 2004 , Page(s): 183 - 185
Cited by: Papers (28) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (304 KB)
This letter presents a novel reflecto-directive system using a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) leaky-wave (LW) antenna and heterodyne mixing. The system receives a signal at a fixed frequency with a patch antenna and reflects it back toward any desired angle by tuning the LO frequency of a mixer. The performances of the system are demonstrated experimentally: 5 GHz incoming signals at -30°, 0° and +30° are detected and transmitted, or "reflected", to -20° at 3.5 GHz, +20° at 4.5 GHz and +50° at 5.5 GHz in agreement with the angle-frequency relationship of the CRLH antenna.

BWW Reviews: Kristin Towers-Rowles Brings A LOVELY LINEAGE to Sierra Madre
by Don Grigware - Feb 17, 2015
On Sunday July 24, actress/singer Kristin Towers-Rowles debuted her one-woman cabaret A Lovely Lineage at Sterling's Upstairs @ Vitello's to resounding success. The amazing singer, who is the grand daughter of legendary MGM musical star Katharine Grayson and Broadway veteran Johnnie Johnston, saluted them both as well as her musical comedy performing parents Patty and Robert Towers. Although the young descendant of American show business royalty has a stupendous background, her life has not been that rosy. Playing a role onstage in a show called Veggie Tales, Towers-Rowles popped a disc in her back from wearing a 50-pound costume and was told she would never appear on stage again. She made a near complete recovery and although she still is in pain, exclaims, 'If I have to hurt, I might as well hurt on stage.' It is this unsinkable brave spirit that is present in her beautiful singing voice, in her glowing personality and overall captivating aura. She has an infectious sense of humor as well. (more...)

A top quality late maturing onion with golden globe-shaped bulbs weighing an average of 1 pound. Imported from Italy. Yellow of Parma is one of the best for storage. Long-day type. (110 days from transplant)
Each packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
Planting and Harvesting Tips:
Start indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost date of spring. Keep trays at room temperature and do not allow to dry out. Transplant outside after the last frost, spacing 4-6 inches apart in all directions. Plants are shallow rooted and require fertile well-drained soil and constant surface moisture to thrive.
Allow tops to fall over naturally, then pull bulbs and let dry for two weeks. Watering prior to harvest makes pulling easier. After curing, store in a cool, dry location such as a root cellar.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Wake County Commissioners decided not to push a referendum on the November ballot for a half-cent sales tax hike that would pay for projects, which would connect Durham, Orange and Wake Counties, according to NBC17.
Durham County voters already approved a tax hike for the plan. Orange County voters will decide whether to approve it this November. For the full story, click here.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.
The decision comes after the agency conducted an analysis and product review period. Implementation of the project began in February and all work is expected to be completed by the end of April.

February 2011: It is important to separate the facts from marketing hyperbole and misleading comparisons. Our competition's marketing machine has been in full gear lately making bold claims about our servers. We are confident most customers will see these tactics as overly aggressive and not very factual marketing but we welcome the opportunity to set the record straight.
Please consider the following facts:
Fact 1: HP Superdome 2 provides a clear investment path forward for customers with multiple future generations of processors publicly defined by Intel®, all supported in a modular chassis with built-in advanced mission critical resiliency.
Purchasing large enterprise class servers is a major investment and customers expect to be able to leverage that investment over many years with continual processor upgrades. The HP roadmap for Superdome 2 shows a clear public roadmap of future processor upgrades that will all be supported in this new modular chassis. The M-series platform roadmap for any future upgrades is not nearly so visible and clearly defined.
Fact 2: For high-end servers, mission critical availability is key and delivering uninterrupted services to customers is critical. The M8000/M9000 relies on a combination of hardware redundancy and rebooting to recover from key hardware faults1.
By their very nature enterprise customers demand robustness and resiliency for mission critical workloads. The cost of downtime continues to grow putting increased pressure on mission critical environments. HP Integrity servers with HP-UX deliver a best-in-class mission critical infrastructure that enterprise customers have relied on for many years. With Superdome 2, HP engineers have elevated system resiliency further with a system design that is focused on fully insulating customers from that inevitable fault that will occur:
Fact 3: Compared to a comparable HP Integrity server, the M8000/M9000 SPARC Enterprise Servers require more data center real estate and provide less capability to manage power and cooling requirements in the datacenter2.
Superdome 2 incorporates a progressive power supply control scheme where supply efficiency varies depending on load; this control scheme strives to keep the optimal number of supplies in operation that yield the highest overall efficiency. Control of the fans themselves is a significant advancement over prior generation Superdome. Not only are the fans controlled to compensate for load and environmental changes, the algorithm used are a non-linear mapping of fan speed to temperature such that the airflow more closely matches the demand of the system. Energy costs in the datacenter represent an increasingly challenge for customers. Experts estimate that for every $1.00(USD) spent on new hardware, an additional $0.50(USD) is spent on power and cooling3. And the infrastructure needed to support a tier IV datacenter is approximately $25,000/kW4. Therefore, energy efficiency should be a critical element in selecting your infrastructure provider.
Fact 4: On a core-to-core, or processor-to-processor or system-to-system basis, HP Integrity systems can deliver better performance when compared to Oracle M-series SPARC Enterprise servers:
Results as of February, 22, 2011. See: www.spec.org SPEC, SPECint and SPECfp are registered trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation.
Fact 5: Vendor support for mission critical systems is a key — Oracle's support quality is being questioned in the market.
"Interviews with almost a dozen end users and consultants, along with recent user surveys, have found that Oracle Support isn't what it used to be. Service requests languish for days — or sometimes forever — unless there's a follow-up call or you've got inside connections with Oracle. In other cases, users say Oracle Support will respond, but the advice isn't helpful"
Source: "Has the phrase Oracle Support become an oxymoron?" February 7, 2011
"42% of Oracle customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the company's support"
Source: "Are Your Customers Happy with Oracle" December 28, 2010
Fact 6: The Sun component of Oracle has struggled to compete in the high-end server market and lost significant market share in the past years5.

Host deployments in a Software Defined Data Center (SDDC): How do you deploy the hypervisors in your company? There are several different choices from installing from a CD, network install and/or PXE, to name a few methods currently available. When there are not a lot of physical hypervisors to worry about the CD installation works just fine and the need for automated installation gets stronger in direct correlation to the number of hosts.

Gaming as a Service: When we talk about Cloud Computing Systems we may be mainly focusing on Platform, Infrastructure, Software and Network as a service as the main and common areas that are presented to us, but there is another area to watch and keep an eye on as it gets a stronger foothold into the cloud and that newcomer is Gaming as a Service (GaaS).
How do you define a hybrid cloud? It seems that my idea of what a hybrid cloud is does not seem to match what I find as the current definition of a hybrid cloud.
Data Center Virtualization ...
Security is not compliance and compliance will not get you security. Or does it?
• • 1 Comment
Security is not compliance and compliance will not get you security. At least that is what I hear from security teams. Conversations with security focal team members from non-security focal people can be quite interesting and has its unique challenges and hurtles to overcome. You can find yourself speaking the same language but not fully understanding each other very well at all. One topic point of discussion is that "security is not compliance and compliance will not get you security." Or does it?
The next evolution of virtualization is the Software Defined Data Center or SDDC and it is quickly becoming the next logical step in the continued evolution of cloud technology that will give you the ability to run legacy enterprise applications as well as the other cloud services. In my opinion you could also define Software Defined Data Center as a converged datacenter so to speak. My friend and colleague, Edward Haletky wrote a great post on SDDC and data protection, which raised this question. How the heck to we recover SDDC?
What service of the cloud will be king of the cloud? Cloud computing has taken off in functionality and practicality over the last few years so that now we have three fully defined service models of cloud computing:
EMC and VMware's pivotal moment has officially spun off and the Pivotal Initiative, a big data and cloud platform company is slated to go public according to EMC CEO Joe Tucci while speaking with investors at an event in New York. EMC's chief strategist and ex-CEO of VMware, Paul Maritz, who is leading the Pivotal Initiative, believes and expects it to be a billion dollar business within the next five years if they can get the $400 million initial investment needed to reach that goal. EMC will own 69 percent and VMware will own 31 percent with 1,250 employees and $300 million in revenue.
"I was going to write about how building a cloud is similar to moving, but the more I think about it, the more I think people are confusing an automated virtual environment with a cloud: IT as a Service is not just about cloud. Having automation does not imply your virtual environment is a cloud or visa versa."
Does your hardware keep up with technology? Technology advancements have been and are moving at an incredible pace with new and exciting features getting added with each new release or update of a product. Unfortunately, technology can outpace are physical hardware which can leave us in a true troubleshooting nightmare. There is one specific example that I have seen a few times and is worth sharing.

Jim Silva: In marathon, the right pace will make a good race
How fast is too fast? How slow is too slow?
This has been the focus of my marathon training the past week. I ran the 8K at the Almond Blossom Festival in Ripon last weekend and was able to pace myself fairly well and ran pretty fast.
But how does running an 8K (just under 5 miles) translate to running a marathon (26.2 miles)? The answer: It really doesn't.
The pace I run in the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon in June will have little to do with the pace I set in the 8K in Ripon.
A few years ago, when I was preparing to run my first marathon, also in San Diego, I asked my current Team In Training coach, Rick King, how I could learn to run slower.
Turns out I didn't do a very good job. I ran too fast early in my first marathon and paid for it over the final 6 miles.
Learning how to pace yourself is critical when you begin running distance events like the half-marathon or marathon. It's also important to know how to pace yourself in any kind of workout, whether you're swimming, cycling or doing aerobics in a class.
If you put out too much effort, you can hurt yourself or run out of energy before completing your task. Put out too little effort, and you're not going to improve.
At the gym I attend, there's a poster with the 10 levels of effort, No. 1 being not even sweating and No. 10 being on the border of injury. So where is the target zone?
There's plenty of research online about VO2 maximums and there are heart-rate monitors that show your target zone. Personally, I find all of that a little too complicated.
I think through time I've learned how far I can push myself. I go more by feel than numbers. I pay attention to how fast I'm running, thanks to my GPS watch. But more important, I pay attention to how well or uncomfortable I feel. To get fitter, you have to know how to push yourself without hurting yourself. It's taken me a few years to figure it out, but I think I'm pretty good at it now.
So, back to my initial questions. How fast is too fast? How slow is too slow? When it comes to my marathon, the answers will come during my training. As I begin to stretch out my longer runs, from 10 miles, to 15 to 20, I will learn what I'm capable of. If I'm completely out of gas or hurting too much at the end of the training runs, I'll know that I'm going too fast. If I'm not tired enough, then I'll know I can go a little faster.
Trying to run the marathon too fast likely will result in a major collapse in the final 4-6 miles. In both of my marathons I've suffered severe cramping during the final 30-40 minutes of the race.
So, why don't I just take it easy and run slower, you might ask? That's just not me. I'm a competitive person and like to push myself to always be a better runner, run faster, and feel better doing it.
Of course, there are many factors in having a successful marathon. I think I've found the right shoes and I've done a better job, so far at least, of sticking to my training regimen. I also plan to improve my pre-race meals and increase my fluid intake during the race, which should help with the cramps.
Finding the right marathon pace will be something I work on over the next weeks and months as June 1 approaches. As they say in horse racing, "the pace makes the race."
I hope this time I get it right.

Baker Investigated For Refusing To Make Cake For Same Sex Couple
Thought crimes vs. the First Amendment in Oregon (via The Blaze)
(KGW) The Oregon Department of Justice is looking into a complaint that a Gresham bakery refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex marriage.
It started on Jan. 17 when a mother and daughter showed up at Sweet Cakes by Melissa looking for the perfect wedding cake.
"My first question is what's the wedding date," said owner Aaron Klein. "My next question is bride and groom's name … the girl giggled a little bit and said it's two brides."
Klein apologized to the women and told them he and his wife do not make cakes for same-sex marriages. Klein said the women were disgusted and walked out.
"I believe that marriage is a religious institution ordained by God," said Klein. "A man should leave his mother and father and cling to his wife … that to me is the beginning of marriage."
The charge would be for discrimination in a public place under ORS 659a.403. Looking at the entire portion of ORS 659a, civil penalites can be assessed at up to $1,000 (659a.855). The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries can also forced the defendant to cease and desist. Furthermore, the defendant isn't entitled to a trial by jury in front of his/her peers, but instead must face a tribunal of Bureau of Labor employees.
Obviously, Klein is receiving lots and lots of hate mail and abuse for his stance (which, in fairness, is the right of people who are upset), but it is the notion of a thought crime versus freedom of religion that is the problem. The Government attempting to harm an individual for simply refusing to make a wedding cake because of his religious beliefs. It's not like there aren't lots of other bakers.
Oh, wait, I forgot, he didn't build that business, so The Government can tell him how to operate at every step.

Aruba is Cucumber extension for testing command line applications written in any programming language. Features at a glance:
- Test any command line application
- Manipulate the file system
- Create great HTML documentation based on your own Cucumber scenarios
If you have a
Gemfile, add
aruba. Otherwise, install it like this:
gem install aruba
require the library in one of your ruby files under
features/support (e.g.
require 'aruba/cucumber'
You now have a bunch of step definitions that you can use in your features. Look at
to see them all. Look at
features/*.feature for examples (which are also testing Aruba
Originally written for
aruba can be helpful in other contexts as
well. One might want to use it together with
- Create a directory named
- Create a file named
require 'aruba/api'
require 'aruba/reporting'
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Aruba::Api
config.before(:each) do
- Add the following to your
Dir.glob(::File.expand_path('../support/*.rb', __FILE__)).each { |f| require_relative f }
aruba provides a wonderful API to be used in your tests:
- Creating files/directories
- Deleting files/directories
- Checking file size
- Checking file existence/absence
- ...
A full documentation of the API can be found here.
Aruba has some default behaviour that you can change if you need to.
Use a different working directory
Per default Aruba will create a directory
tmp/aruba where it performs its file operations.
If you want to change this behaviour put this into your
Before do
@dirs = ["somewhere/else"]
Modify the PATH
Aruba will automatically add the
bin directory of your project to the
PATH environment variable for
the duration of each Cucumber scenario. So if you're developing a Ruby gem with a binary command, you
can test those commands as though the gem were already installed.
If you need other directories to be added to the
PATH, you can put the following in
ENV['PATH'] = "/my/special/bin/path#{File::PATH_SEPARATOR}#{ENV['PATH']}"
Increasing timeouts
A process sometimes takes longer than expected to terminate, and Aruba will kill them off (and fail your scenario) if it is still alive after 3 seconds. If you need more time you can modify the timeout by assigning a different value to
@aruba_timeout_seconds in a
Before block:
Before do
@aruba_timeout_seconds = 5
Increasing IO wait time
Running processes interactively can result in race conditions when Aruba executes an IO-related step
but the interactive process has not yet flushed or read some content. To help prevent this Aruba waits
before reading or writing to the process if it is still running. You can control the wait by setting
@aruba_io_wait_seconds to an appropriate value. This is particularly useful with tags:
Before('@slow_process') do
@aruba_io_wait_seconds = 5
Aruba defines several tags that you can put on on individual scenarios, or on a feature.
Seeing more output with
To get more information on what Aruba is doing, use these tags:
@announce-cmd- See what command is run
@announce-stdout- See the stdout
@announce-stderr- See the stderr
@announce-dir- See the current directory
@announce-env- See environment variables set by Aruba
@announce- Does all of the above
Adding Hooks
You can hook into Aruba's lifecycle just before it runs a command:
Aruba.configure do |config|
config.before_cmd do |cmd|
puts "About to run '#{cmd}'"
Keep files around with
Aruba clobbers all files in its working directory before each scenario. -Unless you tag it with
Making assertions about ANSI escapes with
Aruba strips away ANSI escapes from the stdout and stderr of spawned child processes by default. It's usually rather cumbersome to
make assertions about coloured output. Still, there might be cases where you want to leave the ANSI escapes intact. Just tag your
scenario with
@ansi. Alternatively you can add your own Before
hook that sets
@aruba_keep_ansi = true.
Testing Ruby CLI programs without spawning a new Ruby process.
If your CLI program is written in Ruby you can speed up your suite of scenarios by running
your CLI in the same process as Cucumber/Aruba itself. In order to be able to do this, the
entry point for your CLI application must be a class that has a constructor with a particular
signature and an
execute! method:
class MyMain
def initialize(argv, stdin=STDIN, stdout=STDOUT, stderr=STDERR, kernel=Kernel)
@argv, @stdin, @stdout, @stderr, @kernel = argv, stdin, stdout, stderr, kernel
def execute!
# your code here, assign a value to exitstatus
bin/something executable would look something like the following:
require 'my_main'
Then wire it all up in your
features/support/env.rb file:
require 'aruba'
require 'aruba/in_process'
Aruba::InProcess.main_class = MyMain
Aruba.process = Aruba::InProcess
That's it! Everything will now run inside the same ruby process, making your suite a lot faster. Cucumber itself uses this approach to test itself, so check out the Cucumber source code for an example.
- Very fast compared to spawning processes
- You can use libraries like
simplecov more easily, because
there is only one "process" which adds data to
simplecov's database
Cons: * You might oversee some bugs: You might forget to require libraries in your "production" code, because you have required them in your testing code
JRuby Tips
Improve startup time by disabling JIT and forcing client JVM mode. This can be accomplished by adding
require 'aruba/jruby'
or setting a hook like this example:
Aruba.configure do |config|
config.before_cmd do |cmd|
set_env('JRUBY_OPTS', "-X-C #{ENV['JRUBY_OPTS']}") # disable JIT since these processes are so short lived
set_env('JAVA_OPTS', "-d32 #{ENV['JAVA_OPTS']}") # force jRuby to use client JVM for faster startup times
end if RUBY_PLATFORM == 'java'
Note - no conflict resolution on the JAVA/JRuby environment options is done; only merging. For more complex settings please manually set the environment variables in the hook or externally.
A larger process timeout for java may be needed
Before do
@aruba_timeout_seconds = RUBY_PLATFORM == 'java' ? 60 : 10
Refer to http://blog.headius.com/2010/03/jruby-startup-time-tips.html for other tips on startup time.
Important - you need Pygments installed to use this feature.
Aruba can generate a HTML page for each scenario that contains:
- The title of the scenario
- The description from the scenario (You can use Markdown here)
- The command(s) that were run
- The output from those commands (in colour if the output uses ANSI escapes)
- The files that were created (syntax highlighted in in colour)
In addition to this, it creates an
index.html file with links to all individual report files.
Reporting is off by default, but you can enable it by defining the
ARUBA_REPORT_DIR environment variable, giving it the value
where reports should be written:
ARUBA_REPORT_DIR=doc cucumber features
This will use Aruba's built-in template by default (See the
templates folder). If you want to use your own template you can override its location:
ARUBA_REPORT_TEMPLATES=templates ARUBA_REPORT_DIR=doc cucumber features
The templates directory must contain a
main.erb and
files.erb template. It can also contain other assets such
as css, javascript and images. All of these files will be copied over to the report dir well.
Escaping Markdown
There are some edge cases where Gherkin and Markdown don't agree. Bullet lists using
* is one example. The
* is also an alias for
step keywords in Gherkin. Markdown headers (the kind starting with a
#) is another example. They are parsed as comments by Gherkin. To use either of these, just escape them with a backslash. So instead of writing:
Scenario: Make tea
## Making tea
* Get a pot
* And some hot water
You'd write:
Scenario: Make tea
\## Making tea
