Sometimes it's necessary to run a process in the background. This can be because we want to interact with it from a different process. Examples:

  • Sending data to the process via STDIN
  • Run another process that needs the background process to be running in order to work

We can reuse some code from Cucumber:

Yo, I have a more mature version of that code sitting around in some of my other projects... My intention was to add it to my clispec project but never got around to it. Want me do to a patch for it?

I just added some basic support for interacting with shell-like processes to my fork of Aruba here: http://github.com/msassak/aruba/tree/interactive. The biggish news is that I replaced the process management code with timcharper's background_process gem. It's still a bit rough around the edges, but the basics work (see features/interactive.feature).

I'm going to be working on background processes and managing output from different processes in the same scenario next.
