Assay MiniTest

DESCRIPTION

Assay MiniTest is a compatability layer for using MiniTest’s test or spec assertion notations with the Assay assertions framework.

Assay MiniTest defines a set of MiniTest-compatible assertion methods which depend on Assay’s assertion classes. This allows developers to change test frameworks without having to change a slew of previously defined assertions calls.

Assay defines assertions in the same way that Ruby defines exceptions. An assertion is nothing more that an extended Exception class. Assay provides a complete set of these assertion classes for all common assertion needs. See Assay project for more information on this foundational library.

SYNOPSIS

Simply require the ‘assay/minitest` script, and include the `Assay::Matchers` mixin module into your tests wherever your test framework requires it (which may be as simple as the toplevel namespace).

require 'assay/minitest'

include Assay::Assertions

Now assertions can be made just as if you were using MiniTest.

assert_equal(10, 5+5)

refute_kind_of(String, 10)

Alternately, you can use MiniTest’s expectations notation.

include Assay::Extensions

(5+5).must_equal(10)

10.must_be_kind_of?(Fixnum)

LIMITATIONS

Note that compatibility is not 100%, yet, though it is fairly close. Compatibilty will improve with future releases. Please feel obligated to submit a patch, if you need a missing a feature ;)

INSTALLATION

To install with RubyGems simply open a console and type:

$ gem install assay-minitest

Site installation with the tarball can be done with Ruby Setup (gem install setup). See rubyworks.github.com/setup.
