Overview

Subclass Test to create your own tests. Typically you'll want a Test subclass per implementation class.

Assertions - Included

#assert

Fails unless exp == act printing the difference between the two, if possible.

#assert_in_delta

For comparing Floats.

#assert_in_epsilon

For comparing Floats.

#assert_includes

Fails unless collection includes obj.

#assert_instance_of

Fails unless obj is an instance of cls.

#assert_kind_of

Fails unless obj is a kind of cls.

#assert_match

Fails unless matcher =~ obj.

#assert_mock

Assert that the mock verifies correctly.

#assert_nil

Fails unless obj is nil.

#assert_operator

For testing with binary operators.

#assert_output

Fails if stdout or stderr do not output the expected results.

#assert_path_exists

Fails unless path exists.

#assert_predicate

For testing with predicates.

#assert_raises

Fails unless the block raises one of exp.

Fails unless obj responds to meth.

#assert_same

Fails unless exp and act are #equal?

#assert_send

send_ary is a receiver, message and arguments.

#assert_silent

Fails if the block outputs anything to stderr or stdout.

#assert_throws

Fails unless the block throws sym

#capture_io

Captures $stdout and $stderr into strings:

#capture_subprocess_io

Captures $stdout and $stderr into strings, using Tempfile to ensure that subprocess IO is captured as well.

#diff

Returns a diff between exp and act.

#exception_details

Returns details for exception e

#fail_after

Fails after a given date (in the local time zone).

#flunk

Fails with msg.

#message

Returns a proc that will output msg along with the default message.

This returns a human-readable version of obj.

Class Method Details

.i_suck_and_my_tests_are_order_dependent!

Call this at the top of your tests when you absolutely positively need to have ordered tests. In doing so, you're admitting that you suck and your tests are weak.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/test.rb', line 31

def self.i_suck_and_my_tests_are_order_dependent!
  class << self
    undef_method :test_order if method_defined? :test_order
    define_method :test_order do :alpha end
  end
end

.make_my_diffs_pretty!

Make diffs for this Test use #pretty_inspect so that diff in assert_equal can have more details. NOTE: this is much slower than the regular inspect but much more usable for complex objects.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/test.rb', line 44

def self.make_my_diffs_pretty!
  require "pp"

  define_method :mu_pp, &:pretty_inspect
end

.parallelize_me!

Call this at the top of your tests when you want to run your tests in parallel. In doing so, you're admitting that you rule and your tests are awesome.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/test.rb', line 55

def self.parallelize_me!
  include Minitest::Parallel::Test
  extend Minitest::Parallel::Test::ClassMethods
end

.runnable_methods

Returns all instance methods starting with “test_”. Based on #test_order, the methods are either sorted, randomized (default), or run in parallel.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/test.rb', line 65

def self.runnable_methods
  methods = methods_matching(/^test_/)

  case self.test_order
  when :random, :parallel then
    max = methods.size
    methods.sort.sort_by { rand max }
  when :alpha, :sorted then
    methods.sort
  else
    raise "Unknown test_order: #{self.test_order.inspect}"
  end
end

.test_order

Defines the order to run tests (:random by default). Override this or use a convenience method to change it for your tests.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/test.rb', line 83

def self.test_order
  :random
end

Instance Method Details

#run

Runs a single test with setup/teardown hooks.

# File 'lib/minitest/test.rb', line 92

  with_info_handler do
    time_it do
      capture_exceptions do
        before_setup; setup; after_setup

  Result.from self # per contract
