zerocode VS JRuby

Zerocode is an open-source Java test automation framework that uses a declarative style of testing. In declarative testing, you don't write code, you declare scenarios that describe each step of a test in a JSON/YAML file. The Zerocode framework will then interpret the scenario and execute the instructions that you specify via a custom DSL. Zerocode can be used for end-to-end testing of your data stream.

As someone who has looked at Shoes several times but never dove in, it's confusing how Shoes 4 has been the "preview version" of Shoes for, like, a decade or more. It made me actively avoid getting invested in Shoes 3 (the release promoted on the linked website) because Shoes 4 requires JRuby and I am happy with CRuby (the Ruby interpreter most people think of when they hear "Ruby").

No disrespect to the developers but to me it feels like taking over a GUI toolkit created "to teach programming to everyone" (to quote the Shoes 4 readme) and making it depend upon a super-complicated enterprise-focused Ruby was sort of Missing The Point™ in a huge way.

Heck I couldn't even switch to JRuby if I wanted to because I <3 Ractors and JRuby still lacks CRuby 3.0 feature parity: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/7459

__callee__ now properly returns the name under which a method was called, which will be the new name in the case of aliased methods. #2305, #7702

rdoc has been updated to 6.3.3 to fix all known CVEs. (#7396, #7404)

Altering the visibility of an included module method no longer changes what super method gets called. (#7240, #7343, #7344, #7356)

It looks like the readme is copy pasta from jruby: https://github.com/jruby/jruby

Chris: Yeah, that's exactly right. So I was working at Sun at the time. I remember the JRuby guys. I saw them speak at one of the Java conferences, and they came to work for Sun. Just listening to them talk about JRuby...and then a lot of it was obviously about Ruby on Rails at the time. And I was like, wow, this was just mind-blowing the way they talked about it.

In fact, I built its GUI twice with two different approaches, one using the up and coming Glimmer DSL for LibUI on CRuby relying on a multi-canvas-grid (LibUI area) approach, and one using the very mature Glimmer DSL for SWT on JRuby by relying on a button-grid approach.
