Warning

Don't use it! Writing simple assertions (and Minitest way of transforming them to expectations) is almost always a better idea anyway. Work with your favourite library authors to start with assertions and add matchers for convenience and not the other way around. Keep it simple.

Description

minitest-matchers adds support for RSpec/Shoulda-style matchers to minitest/unit and minitest/spec.

More information about matchers can be found here:

For use with Rails check out (ValidAttribute + Capybara):

Features/Problems

Enables you to use existing matcher classes from projects like valid_attribute and capybara
Can be used both in Minitest::Test & Minitest::Spec

Synopsis

see example matcher: matcher.rb

require "minitest/matchers"
require "minitest/autorun"
require "valid_attribute"
require "active_model"

class Post
  include ActiveModel::Validations
  attr_accessor :title
  validates :title, :presence => true, :length => 4..20
end

# Using minitest/unit

class PostTest < Minitest::Test
  include ValidAttribute::Method

  def test_validations
    post = Post.new

    assert_must have_valid(:title).when("Good"), post
    assert_wont have_valid(:title).when(""), post
  end
end

# Using minitest/spec

describe Post do
  include ValidAttribute::Method

  it "should have validations" do
    post = Post.new

    post.must have_valid(:title).when("Good")
    post.wont have_valid(:title).when("")
  end
end

# Using minitest/spec with subject

describe Post do
  subject { Post.new }

  it { must have_valid(:title).when("Hello") }
  it { wont have_valid(:title).when("", nil, "Bad") }
end

# or

describe Post do
  subject { Post.new }

  must { have_valid(:title).when("Hello") }
  wont { have_valid(:title).when("", nil, "Bad") }
end

You can also register matcher so that it works similar to built-in assertions and expectations. Note subject must be the first argument in assertion.

Minitest::Test.register_matcher HaveContent, :have_content
Minitest::Test.register_matcher :have_selector, :have_selector

assert_have_content page, "Hello"
assert_have_selector page, :xpath, "//table/tr"

page.must_have_content "Hello"
page.must_have_selector :xpath, "//table/tr"
