Module: Test::Unit::Assertions

Included in:
TestCase
Defined in:
lib/test/unit/assertions.rb

Overview

Test::Unit::Assertions contains the standard Test::Unit assertions. Assertions is included in Test::Unit::TestCase.

To include it in your own code and use its functionality, you simply need to rescue Test::Unit::AssertionFailedError. Additionally you may override add_assertion to get notified whenever an assertion is made.

Notes:

  • The message to each assertion, if given, will be propagated with the failure.

  • It is easy to add your own assertions based on assert_block().

Examples:

Example Custom Assertion


def deny(boolean, message=nil)
  message = build_message(message, '<?> is not false or nil.', boolean)
  assert_block(message) do
    not boolean
  end
end

Class Method Details

.use_pp=(value) ⇒ Object

Select whether or not to use the pretty-printer. If this option is set to false before any assertions are made, pp.rb will not be required.

Instance Method Details

#add_assertion ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Called whenever an assertion is made. Define this in classes that include Test::Unit::Assertions to record assertion counts.

This is a public API for developers who extend test-unit.

# File 'lib/test/unit/assertions.rb', line 1655

def add_assertion
end

#assert(object, message = nil) ⇒ void #assert(message = nil) { ... } ⇒ void

Overloads:

  • #assert(object, message = nil) ⇒ void

    This method returns an undefined value.

    Asserts that ‘object` is not false nor nil.

    Normally, you don’t need to use this assertion. Use more specific assertions such as #assert_equal and #assert_include.

    Examples:

    Pass patterns

    assert(true)               # => pass
assert([1, 2].include?(1)) # => pass

    Failure patterns

    assert(nil)                # => failure
assert(false)              # => failure
assert([1, 2].include?(5)) # => failure

    Parameters:

    • object (Object) —

      The check target.

    • message (String) (defaults to: nil) —

      The additional user message. It is showed when the assertion is failed.

  • #assert(message = nil) { ... } ⇒ void

    This method returns an undefined value.

    Asserts that the givens block returns not false nor nil.

    This style uses Power Assert. It means that you can see each object values in method chains on failure. See the following example about Power Assert.

    We recommend you to use Power Assert for predicate method checks rather than existing assertions such as #assert_include and #assert_predicate. Power Assert shows useful message for debugging.

    We don’t recommend you use Power Assert for equality check. You should use #assert_equal for the case. Because #assert_equal shows more useful message for debugging.

    Examples:

    Power Assert

    coins = [1, 5, 50]
target_coin = 10
assert do
  coins.include?(target_coin)
end
# =>
#  coins.include?(target_coin)
#  |     |        |
#  |     |        10
#  |     false
#  [1, 5, 50]

    Pass patterns

    assert {true}               # => pass
assert {[1, 2].include?(1)} # => pass

    Failure patterns

    assert {nil}                # => failure
assert {false}              # => failure
assert {[1, 2].include?(5)} # => failure

    Parameters:

    • message (String) (defaults to: nil) —

      The additional user message. It is showed when the assertion is failed.

    Yields:

    • Given no parameters to the block.

    Yield Returns:

    • (Object) —

      The checked object.

#assert_true(actual, message = nil) ⇒ Object

Passes if ‘actual` is true.

Examples:

assert_true(true)  # -> pass
assert_true(:true) # -> fail

#build_message(user_message, template = nil, *arguments) ⇒ Object

Builds a failure message. ‘user_message` is added before the `template` and `arguments` replaces the ’?‘s positionally in the template.

end

#flunk(message = "Flunked") ⇒ Object

Flunk always fails.

Examples:

flunk 'Not done testing yet.'

def flunk(message="Flunked")
  assert_block(build_message(message)){false}

#refute(object, message = nil) ⇒ void

Note:

Just for minitest compatibility. :<

This method returns an undefined value.

Asserts that ‘object` is false or nil.

Examples:

Pass patterns

refute(false)    # => pass
refute(nil)      # => pass

Failure patterns

refute(true)     # => failure
refute("string") # => failure

Parameters:

  • object (Object) —

    The object to be asserted.

Since:

  • 2.5.3
