Overview

::Minitest Assertions. All assertion methods accept a msg which is printed if the assertion fails.

Protocol: Nearly everything here boils up to #assert, which expects to be able to increment an instance accessor named assertions. This is not provided by Assertions and must be provided by the thing including Assertions. See Runnable for an example.

Instance Method Details

#_synchronize

This method is for internal use only.
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 188

def _synchronize # :nodoc:
  yield
end

#assert(test, msg = nil)

Fails unless test is truthy.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 178

def assert test, msg = nil
  self.assertions += 1
  unless test then
    msg ||= "Expected #{mu_pp test} to be truthy."
    msg = msg.call if Proc === msg
    raise Minitest::Assertion, msg
  end
  true
end

#assert_empty(obj, msg = nil)

Fails unless obj is empty.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 195

def assert_empty obj, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) { "Expected #{mu_pp(obj)} to be empty" }
  assert_respond_to obj, :empty?
  assert obj.empty?, msg
end

#assert_equal(exp, act, msg = nil)

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

If there is no visible difference but the assertion fails, you should suspect that your #== is buggy, or your inspect output is missing crucial details. For nicer structural diffing, set Test.make_my_diffs_pretty!

For floats use assert_in_delta.

See also: .diff

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 216

assert_in_delta Math::PI, (22.0 / 7.0), 0.01
[ GitHub ]

Fails unless collection includes obj.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 259

def assert_includes collection, obj, msg = nil

    "Expected #{mu_pp(collection)} to include #{mu_pp(obj)}"
  }
  assert_respond_to collection, :include?

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 281

def assert_kind_of cls, obj, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) {
    "Expected #{mu_pp(obj)} to be a kind of #{cls}, not #{obj.class}" }

  assert obj.kind_of?(cls), msg
end

#assert_match(matcher, obj, msg = nil)

Fails unless matcher =~ obj.

[ GitHub ]

  assert matcher =~ obj, msg

  Regexp.last_match
end

#assert_mock(mock)

Assert that the mock verifies correctly.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/mock.rb', line 244

def assert_mock mock
  assert mock.verify
end

#assert_nil(obj, msg = nil)

Fails unless obj is nil

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 303

def assert_nil obj, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) { "Expected #{mu_pp(obj)} to be nil" }
  assert obj.nil?, msg
end

#assert_operator(o1, op, o2 = UNDEFINED, msg = nil)

For testing with binary operators. Eg:

assert_operator 5, :<=, 4
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 313

def assert_operator o1, op, o2 = UNDEFINED, msg = nil
  return assert_predicate o1, op, msg if UNDEFINED == o2
  msg = message(msg) { "Expected #{mu_pp(o1)} to be #{op} #{mu_pp(o2)}" }
  assert o1.__send__(op, o2), msg
end

#assert_output(stdout = nil, stderr = nil)

Fails if stdout or stderr do not output the expected results. Pass in nil if you don’t care about that streams output. Pass in “” if you require it to be silent. Pass in a regexp if you want to pattern match.

assert_output(/hey/) { method_with_output }

NOTE: this uses #capture_io, not #capture_subprocess_io.

See also: #assert_silent

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 331

def assert_output stdout = nil, stderr = nil
  flunk "assert_output requires a block to capture output." unless
    block_given?

  out, err = capture_io do
    yield
  end

  err_msg = Regexp === stderr ? :assert_match : :assert_equal if stderr
  out_msg = Regexp === stdout ? :assert_match : :assert_equal if stdout

  y = send err_msg, stderr, err, "In stderr" if err_msg
  x = send out_msg, stdout, out, "In stdout" if out_msg

  (!stdout || x) && (!stderr || y)
rescue Assertion
  raise
rescue => e
  raise UnexpectedError, e
end

#assert_path_exists(path, msg = nil)

Fails unless path exists.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 355

def assert_path_exists path, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) { "Expected path '#{path}' to exist" }
  assert File.exist?(path), msg
end

#assert_predicate(o1, op, msg = nil)

For testing with predicates. Eg:

assert_predicate str, :empty?

This is really meant for specs and is front-ended by assert_operator:

str.must_be :empty?
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 369

def assert_predicate o1, op, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) { "Expected #{mu_pp(o1)} to be #{op}" }
  assert o1.__send__(op), msg
end

#assert_raises(*exp)

Fails unless the block raises one of exp. Returns the exception matched so you can check the message, attributes, etc.

exp takes an optional message on the end to help explain failures and defaults to StandardError if no exception class is passed. Eg:

assert_raises(CustomError) { method_with_custom_error }

With custom error message:

assert_raises(CustomError, 'This should have raised CustomError') { method_with_custom_error }

Using the returned object:

error = assert_raises(CustomError) do
  raise CustomError, 'This is really bad'
end

assert_equal 'This is really bad', error.message
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 396

def assert_raises *exp
  flunk "assert_raises requires a block to capture errors." unless
    block_given?

  msg = "#{exp.pop}.\n" if String === exp.last
  exp << StandardError if exp.empty?

  begin
    yield
  rescue *exp => e
    pass # count assertion
    return e
  rescue Minitest::Assertion # incl Skip & UnexpectedError
    # don't count assertion
    raise
  rescue SignalException, SystemExit
    raise
  rescue Exception => e
    flunk proc {
      exception_details(e, "#{msg}#{mu_pp(exp)} exception expected, not")
    }
  end

  exp = exp.first if exp.size == 1

  flunk "#{msg}#{mu_pp(exp)} expected but nothing was raised."
end

#assert_respond_to(obj, meth, msg = nil)

Fails unless obj responds to meth.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 427

def assert_respond_to obj, meth, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) {
    "Expected #{mu_pp(obj)} (#{obj.class}) to respond to ##{meth}"
  }
  assert obj.respond_to?(meth), msg
end

#assert_same(exp, act, msg = nil)

Fails unless exp and act are #equal?

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 437

def assert_same exp, act, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) {
    data = [mu_pp(act), act.object_id, mu_pp(exp), exp.object_id]
    "Expected %s (oid=%d) to be the same as %s (oid=%d)" % data
  }
  assert exp.equal?(act), msg
end

#assert_send(send_ary, m = nil)

send_ary is a receiver, message and arguments.

Fails unless the call returns a true value

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 450

def assert_send send_ary, m = nil
  where = Minitest.filter_backtrace(caller).first
  where = where.split(/:in /, 2).first # clean up noise
  warn "DEPRECATED: assert_send. From #{where}"

  recv, msg, *args = send_ary
  m = message(m) {
    "Expected #{mu_pp(recv)}.#{msg}(*#{mu_pp(args)}) to return true" }
  assert recv.__send__(msg, *args), m
end

#assert_silent

Fails if the block outputs anything to stderr or stdout.

See also: #assert_output

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 466

def assert_silent
  assert_output "", "" do
    yield
  end
end

#assert_throws(sym, msg = nil)

Fails unless the block throws sym

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 475

def assert_throws sym, msg = nil
  default = "Expected #{mu_pp(sym)} to have been thrown"
  caught = true
  value = catch(sym) do
    begin
      yield
    rescue ThreadError => e       # wtf?!? 1.8 + threads == suck
      default += ", not \:#{e.message[/uncaught throw \`(\w+?)\'/, 1]}"
    rescue ArgumentError => e     # 1.9 exception
      raise e unless e.message.include?("uncaught throw")
      default += ", not #{e.message.split(/ /).last}"
    rescue NameError => e         # 1.8 exception
      raise e unless e.name == sym
      default += ", not #{e.name.inspect}"
    end
    caught = false
  end

  assert caught, message(msg) { default }
  value
rescue Assertion
  raise
rescue => e
  raise UnexpectedError, e
end

#capture_io

Captures $stdout and $stderr into strings:

out, err = capture_io do
  puts "Some info"
  warn "You did a bad thing"
end

assert_match %r%info%, out
assert_match %r%bad%, err

NOTE: For efficiency, this method uses StringIO and does not capture IO for subprocesses. Use #capture_subprocess_io for that.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 516

def capture_io
  _synchronize do
    begin
      captured_stdout, captured_stderr = StringIO.new, StringIO.new

      orig_stdout, orig_stderr = $stdout, $stderr
      $stdout, $stderr         = captured_stdout, captured_stderr

      yield

      return captured_stdout.string, captured_stderr.string
    ensure
      $stdout = orig_stdout
      $stderr = orig_stderr
    end
  end
end

#capture_subprocess_io

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

out, err = capture_subprocess_io do
  system "echo Some info"
  system "echo You did a bad thing 1>&2"
end

assert_match %r%info%, out
assert_match %r%bad%, err

NOTE: This method is approximately 10x slower than #capture_io so only use it when you need to test the output of a subprocess.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 549

def capture_subprocess_io
  _synchronize do
    begin
      require "tempfile"

      captured_stdout, captured_stderr = Tempfile.new("out"), Tempfile.new("err")

      orig_stdout, orig_stderr = $stdout.dup, $stderr.dup
      $stdout.reopen captured_stdout
      $stderr.reopen captured_stderr

      yield

      $stdout.rewind
      $stderr.rewind

      return captured_stdout.read, captured_stderr.read
    ensure
      $stdout.reopen orig_stdout
      $stderr.reopen orig_stderr

      orig_stdout.close
      orig_stderr.close
      captured_stdout.close!
      captured_stderr.close!
    end
  end
end

#diff(exp, act)

Returns a diff between exp and act. If there is no known diff command or if it doesn’t make sense to diff the output (single line, short output), then it simply returns a basic comparison between the two.

See #things_to_diff for more info.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 59

def diff exp, act
  result = nil

  expect, butwas = things_to_diff(exp, act)

  return "Expected: #{mu_pp exp}\n  Actual: #{mu_pp act}" unless
    expect

  Tempfile.open("expect") do |a|
    a.puts expect
    a.flush

    Tempfile.open("butwas") do |b|
      b.puts butwas
      b.flush

      result = `#{Minitest::Assertions.diff} #{a.path} #{b.path}`
      result.sub!(/^\-\-\- .+/, "--- expected")
      result.sub!(/^\\\+ .+/, "+++ actual")

      if result.empty? then
        klass = exp.class
        result = [
                  "No visible difference in the #{klass}#inspect output.\n",
                  "You should look at the implementation of #== on ",
                  "#{klass} or its members.\n",
                  expect,
                 ].join
      end
    end
  end

  result
end

#exception_details(e, msg)

Returns details for exception e

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 581

def exception_details e, msg
  [
   "#{msg}",
   "Class: <#{e.class}>",
   "Message: <#{e.message.inspect}>",
   "---Backtrace---",
   "#{Minitest.filter_backtrace(e.backtrace).join("\n")}",
   "---------------",
  ].join "\n"
end

#fail_after(y, m, d, msg)

Fails after a given date (in the local time zone). This allows you to put time-bombs in your tests if you need to keep something around until a later date lest you forget about it.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 597

def fail_after y,m,d,msg
  flunk msg if Time.now > Time.local(y, m, d)
end

#flunk(msg = nil)

Fails with msg.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 604

def flunk msg = nil
  msg ||= "Epic Fail!"
  assert false, msg
end

#message(msg = nil, ending = nil, &default)

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

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 612

def message msg = nil, ending = nil, &default
  proc {
    msg = msg.call.chomp(".") if Proc === msg
    custom_message = "#{msg}.\n" unless msg.nil? or msg.to_s.empty?
    "#{custom_message}#{default.call}#{ending || "."}"
  }
end

#mu_pp(obj)

This returns a human-readable version of obj. By default #inspect is called. You can override this to use #pretty_inspect if you want.

See Test.make_my_diffs_pretty!

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 129

def mu_pp obj
  s = obj.inspect

  if defined? Encoding then
    s = s.encode Encoding.default_external

    if String === obj && (obj.encoding != Encoding.default_external ||
                          !obj.valid_encoding?) then
      enc = "# encoding: #{obj.encoding}"
      val = "#    valid: #{obj.valid_encoding?}"
      s = "#{enc}\n#{val}\n#{s}"
    end
  end

  s
end

#mu_pp_for_diff(obj)

This returns a diff-able more human-readable version of obj. This differs from the regular mu_pp because it expands escaped newlines and makes hex-values (like object_ids) generic. This uses mu_pp to do the first pass and then cleans it up.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 152

def mu_pp_for_diff obj
  str = mu_pp obj

  # both '\n' & '\\n' (_after_ mu_pp (aka inspect))
  single = !!str.match(/(?<!\\|^)\\n/)
  double = !!str.match(/(?<=\\|^)\\n/)

  process =
    if single ^ double then
      if single then
        lambda { |s| s == "\\n"   ? "\n"    : s } # unescape
      else
        lambda { |s| s == "\\\\n" ? "\\n\n" : s } # unescape a bit, add nls
      end
    else
      :itself                                     # leave it alone
    end

  str.
    gsub(/\\?\\n/, &process).
    gsub(/:0x[a-fA-F0-9]{4,}/m, ":0xXXXXXX") # anonymize hex values
end

Fails if exp == act.

For floats use refute_in_delta.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 649

end

#refute_in_delta(exp, act, delta = 0.001, msg = nil)

For comparing Floats. Fails if exp is within delta of act.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 661

def refute_in_delta exp, act, delta = 0.001, msg = nil

  }
  refute delta >= n, msg
end

#refute_in_epsilon(a, b, epsilon = 0.001, msg = nil)

For comparing Floats. Fails if exp and act have a relative error less than epsilon.

#refute_path_exists(path, msg = nil)

Fails if path exists.

#refute_predicate(o1, op, msg = nil)

For testing with predicates.

refute_predicate str, :empty?

This is really meant for specs and is front-ended by refute_operator:

str.wont_be :empty?

#refute_respond_to(obj, meth, msg = nil)

Fails if obj responds to the message meth.

#refute_same(exp, act, msg = nil)

Fails if exp is the same (by object identity) as act.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 770

def refute_same exp, act, msg = nil
  msg = message(msg) {

#skip(msg = nil, bt = caller)

Skips the current run. If run in verbose-mode, the skipped run gets listed at the end of the run but doesn’t cause a failure exit code.

Raises:

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 783

def skip msg = nil, bt = caller
  msg ||= "Skipped, no message given"
  @skip = true
  raise Minitest::Skip, msg, bt
end

#skip_until(y, m, d, msg)

Skips the current run until a given date (in the local time zone). This allows you to put some fixes on hold until a later date, but still holds you accountable and prevents you from forgetting it.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'lib/minitest/assertions.rb', line 795

def skip_until y,m,d,msg
  skip msg if Time.now < Time.local(y, m, d)
  where = caller.first.rpartition(':in').reject(&:empty?).first
  warn "Stale skip_until %p at %s" % [msg, where]
end

#things_to_diff(exp, act)

Returns things to diff [expect, butwas], or [nil, nil] if nothing to diff.

Criterion:

  1. Strings include newlines or escaped newlines, but not both.

  2. or: String lengths are > 30 characters.

  3. or: Strings are equal to each other (but maybe different encodings?).

  4. and: we found a diff executable.
