MicroTest

Website · API · Report Issue · Source Code

MicroTest is a minimal Test::Unit and MiniTest compatible test framework that runs on top of Ruby Test.

Using Rubygems:

$ gem install microtest

Tests are written in the same manner as they are for Ruby's traditional test framework(s). The only significant difference is that an assertions framework library needs to be required along with the test library itself. MicroTest comes with a traditional assertions system for backward compatability with TestUnit and MiniTest. Simply require microtest/assertion to get it. Alternatively any BRASS compliant assertion framework can be used.

require 'microtest'
require 'microtest/assertions'

class ExampleTest < MicroTest::TestCase

  #
  def setup
    @a = 1
  end

  #
  def test_alpha_is_one
    assert_equal(1, @a)
  end

end

For drop in compatibility with Test::Unit, load microtest/testunit.

require 'microtest/testunit'
require 'microtest/assertions'

class ExampleTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  ...
end

To run tests use the rubytest command line utility.

$ rubytest -Ilib test/test_example.rb
