power_assert
About
Power Assert shows each value of variables and method calls in the expression. It is useful for testing, providing which value wasn't correct when the condition is not satisfied.
Failure:
assert { 3.times.to_a.include?(3) }

In general, you don't need to use this library directly. Use following test frameworks or extensions instead.
- test-unit(>= 3.0.0)
- minitest-power_assert
- rspec-power_assert
- rspec-matchers-power_assert_matchers
- pry-power_assert
- pry-byebug-power_assert
- irb-power_assert
- power_p
Requirement
- CRuby 2.5+
Configuration
To colorize output messages, add require "power_assert/colorize" to your code.
(It requires CRuby 3.0.1+ or irb 1.3.1+)
Known Limitations
- Expressions must be put in one line. Expressions with folded long lines produce nothing report, e.g.:
assert do
# reported
func(foo: 0123456789, bar: "abcdefg")
end
assert do
# won't be reported
func(foo: 0123456789,
bar: "abcdefg")
end- Expressions must have one or more method call. Expressions with no method call produce nothing report, e.g.:
val = false
assert do
# reported
val == true
end
assert do
# won't be reported
val
end- Returned values from accessor methods, method missing, or "super" produce nothing report, e.g:
class Foo
attr_accessor :val
end
foo = Foo.new
foo.val = false
assert do
# reported (only the value of "foo" and the literal "true")
foo.val == true
end
assert do
# won't be reported
foo.val
end- Expressions should not have conditional branches. Expressions with such conditional codes may produce nothing report, e.g.:
condition = true
expected = false
actual = true
assert do
# this will fail but nothing reported
condition ? expected == actual : expected == actual
end
