Class: Test::Unit::TestCase

Overview

Ties everything together. If you subclass and add your own test methods, it takes care of making them into tests and wrapping those tests into a suite. It also does the nitty-gritty of actually running an individual test and collecting its results into a Test::Unit::TestResult object.

You can run two hooks before/after a TestCase run.

Example:

class TestMyClass < Test::Unit::TestCase
  class << self
    def startup
      ...
    end

    def shutdown
      ...
    end
  end

  def setup
    ...
  end

  def cleanup
    ...
  end

  def teardown
    ...
  end

  def test_my_method1
    ...
  end

  def test_my_method2
    ...
  end
end

Here is a call order:

  • startup

  • setup

  • test_my_method1

  • cleanup

  • teardown

  • setup

  • test_my_method2

  • cleanup

  • teardown

  • shutdown

.shutdownObject

Called after every test case runs. Can be used to tear down fixture information used in test case scope.

Here is an example test case:

class TestMyClass < Test::Unit::TestCase
  class << self
    def shutdown
      ...
    end
  end

  def teardown
    ...
  end

  def test_my_class1
    ...
  end

  def test_my_class2
    ...
  end
end

Here is a call order:

  • test_my_class1 (or test_my_class2)

  • teardown

  • test_my_class2 (or test_my_class1)

  • teardown

  • shutdown

Note that you should not assume test order. Tests should be worked in any order.

204
# File 'lib/test/unit/testcase.rb', line 203

def shutdown
end

.startupObject

Called before every test case runs. Can be used to set up fixture information used in test case scope.

Here is an example test case:

class TestMyClass < Test::Unit::TestCase
  class << self
    def startup
      ...
    end
  end

  def setup
    ...
  end

  def test_my_class1
    ...
  end

  def test_my_class2
    ...
  end
end

Here is a call order:

  • startup

  • setup

  • test_my_class1 (or test_my_class2)

  • setup

  • test_my_class2 (or test_my_class1)

Note that you should not assume test order. Tests should be worked in any order.

Rolls up all of the test* methods in the fixture into one suite, creating a new instance of the fixture for each method.

def suite
  suite_creator = TestSuiteCreator.new(self)
  suite_creator.create
end

.test(*test_description_or_targets, &block) ⇒ Object

Defines a test in declarative syntax or marks following method as a test method.

In declarative syntax usage, the following two test definitions are the almost same:

description "register user"
def test_register_user
  ...
end

test "register user" do
  ...
end

In test method mark usage, the “my_test_method” is treated as a test method:

test
def my_test_method
  assert_equal("call me", ...)
end
