.io_lock (rw)

This method is for internal use only.

# File 'lib/minitest/test.rb', line 22


class << self; attr_accessor :io_lock; end

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

#run

Runs a single test with setup/teardown hooks.

This method is for internal use only.
