Enables you to run your assert tests with spork.

This gem is an adaptation of spork-testunit to work with the assert testing framework.

gem install spork-assert

Run spork in one console.

spork assert

In another console, use sporktest to run your tests. You can use assert's rake test task names to run only a subset of your tests.

sporktest # run all tests
sporktest test:unit # run only unit tests
sporktest test:functional:your_controller # run a single test

Note: There is no need to use bundle exec when running the sporktest command. It is completely unnecessary and adds additional wait time before your tests are run.

Add spork-assert to your Gemfile.

gem 'spork-assert', :require => false

Set up spork and assert in your test/test_helper.rb file.

require 'spork'

Spork.prefork do
  ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"
  require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)
  require 'assert'
  require 'assert-rails/test_help'
end

You will probably also need some Spork.trap_method Jujitsu
