AbortIf

Simple error logging and assertions for Ruby.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'abort_if'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install abort_if

See documentation for complete usage.

Here is a tiny example program.

require "abort_if"

include AbortIf
include AbortIf::Assert

a = 5
b = 5
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
fname = "apple_pie.txt"
hash = nil

# this will pass
assert a == b, "%d should equal %d", a, b

# this will pass
abort_unless numbers.include?(1), "numbers should include 1"

# this will pass
abort_if_file_exists fname, "#{fname} should not exist"

File.open(fname, "w") do |f|
  f.puts "Important info to follow...."
end

# oops, this will abort the progam and will log a nice message
# like this
# F, [2016-03-06T18:14:03.255900 #5357] FATAL -- : the hash was nil
abort_unless hash, "the hash was nil"

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
