Method: Minitest::Assertions#assert_pattern

Defined in:
lib/minitest/assertions.rb

#assert_pattern ⇒ Object

For testing with pattern matching (only supported with Ruby 3.0 and later)

# pass
assert_pattern { [1,2,3] => [Integer, Integer, Integer] }

# fail "length mismatch (given 3, expected 1)"
assert_pattern { [1,2,3] => [Integer] }

The bare => pattern will raise a NoMatchingPatternError on failure, which would normally be counted as a test error. This assertion rescues NoMatchingPatternError and generates a test failure. Any other exception will be raised as normal and generate a test error.
