Guardfile

Minitest guard can be really adapated to all kind of projects. Please read guard doc for more info about Guardfile DSL.

Standard ruby gems with Minitest::Unit

guard 'minitest' do
  watch(%r|^test/test_(.*)\.rb|)
  watch(%r{^lib/(.*/)?([^/]+)\.rb$})  { |m| "test/#{m[1]}test_#{m[2]}.rb" }
  watch(%r|^test/test_helper\.rb|)    { "test" }
end

Standard ruby gems with Minitest::Spec

guard 'minitest' do
  watch(%r|^spec/(.*)_spec\.rb|)
  watch(%r{^lib/(.*/)?([^/]+)\.rb$})  { |m| "spec/#{m[1]}#{m[2]}_spec.rb" }
  watch(%r|^spec/spec_helper\.rb|)    { "spec" }
end

Options

You can change the default location and pattern of minitest files:

guard 'minitest', test_folders: 'test/unit', test_file_patterns: '*_test.rb' do
  # ...
end

You can pass any of the standard MiniTest CLI options using the :cli option:

guard 'minitest', :cli => "--seed 123456 --verbose" do

  # ...
end
