SiteWatcher Gem Version

I wrote this to notify me when the Wii U Gamecube controller adapter becomes available.

Usage

Here's an example script. I'm using this to monitor gamestop.com and bestbuy.com:

require "site_watcher"

SiteWatcher.watch(every: 2) do
  # HTML
  page("http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/accessories/wii-u-gamecube-adapter/115426") do
    # Use RSpec to describe your expectations.
    test do |page|
      # `page` is a `Capybara::Node::Simple`. See available matchers here:
      # http://www.rubydoc.info/github/jnicklas/capybara/Capybara/Node/Matchers
      expect(page).not_to have_selector("div.buy1 div.buttonna")
    end

    fulfilled do |url|
      # Call this block when your expectations are met. Here I send myself an email.
      IO.popen(
        [
          "/usr/bin/mail",
          "-s", "GC controller adapter is available!",
          "alexgenco@gmail.com"
        ], "w"
      ) { |io| io.puts(url) }
    end
  end

  # JSON
  page("http://www.bestbuy.com/api/1.0/product/summaries?skus=7522006") do
    # Continue watching this page even after fulfillment
    remove_on_fulfillment false

    test do |json|
      # `json` is a hash of the parsed JSON body.
      expect(
        json[0]["availability"]["ship"]["displayMessage"]
      ).not_to match(/not available/i)
    end
  end
end

This script will block until all expectations have been fulfilled and removed. Using remove_on_fulfillment false will cause it to block indefinitely.

See integration specs for more up-to-date usage examples.

Testing fulfillment

You can force a SiteWatcher.watch process to run each of its fulfilled blocks by sending it the USR1 signal. The process will continue to run as normal after each block has been called.
