Module: ShellTest::Unit

Defined in:

lib/shell_test/unit.rb,
lib/shell_test/unit/shim.rb

Overview

ShellTest is designed to work with MiniTest, which is the standard testing framework included in ruby 1.9. Minor changes in the API break backward compatibility with Test::Unit and/or add functionality expected by ShellTest.

Test::Unit can be patched by requiring the shim file before defining specific TestCase subclasses.

require 'test/unit'
unless Object.const_defined?(:MiniTest)
  require 'shell_test/unit/shim'
end

To let ShellTest do this for you:

require 'shell_test/unit'

Note that the shim script has only been tested vs the Test::Unit that comes with ruby 1.8.x. A Test::Unit 2.0 gem exists; use with caution.

Patches

The shim script adds two things to Test::Unit:

1) A __name__ method which returns the test method name (alias for method_name)

2) A skip method which can be used to skip a test (use it like flunk)
