Inspired by Uncle Bob’s use of crap4j, and egged on somewhat by various members of the Twitterverse, Marty Andrews and I have spiked crap4r on Github. This version looks for Rspec examples in all files called spec/**/*_spec.rb; then it runs them using Rcov and calculates the CRAP metric using code from Roodi. Very neat.

It’s all a bit scrappy and difficult to use right now, but we’ve proved the concept, and over the next few weeks we’ll get it licked into shape and (hopefully) published as a gem.
