by Ryan Davis 12 Dec '25

12 Dec '25

minitest-mock version 5.27.0.beta.1 has been released! minitest/mock, by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock (and stub) object framework. The minitest-mock gem is an extraction of minitest/mock.rb from minitest in order to make it easier to maintain independent of minitest. Changes: ### 5.27.0.beta.1 / 2025-12-11 * 1 major enhancement: * Extracted from minitest into an independent minitest-mock gem! # Historical Record: The rest of this document is here for historical purposes only. It reflects all of the changes to minitest, not just minitest/mock.rb.

[ruby-talk:444723] [ANN] minitest 5.27.0 Released
by Ryan Davis 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

minitest version 5.27.0 has been released! * home: <https://minite.st/> * code: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest> * bugs: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues> * rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest> * clog: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/blob/master/History.rdoc> * emacs: <https://github.com/arthurnn/minitest-emacs> * vim: <https://github.com/vim-test/vim-test> minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking. "I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test frameworks... I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity." -- Wayne E. Seguin minitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework. It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and readable. minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto minitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec expectations. minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb co-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential one! minitest/mock by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock (and stub) object framework. minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P minitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case discovery. "Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!" -- Piotr Szotkowski Comparing to rspec: rspec is a testing DSL. minitest is ruby. -- Adam Hawkins, "Bow Before MiniTest" minitest doesn't reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like: classes, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to learn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like extract-method refactorings still apply. Changes: ### 5.27.0 / 2025-12-11 * 1 major enhancement: * Adding post install message announcing the EOL for minitest 5! * 2 minor enhancements: * Removed TestTask::Work#initialize since Queue can now initialize with an Enumerable! AMAZING! * Use Kernel#warn uplevel argument for nicer warnings. (byroot) * 5 bug fixes: * Cleaned up option aliasing a tad. * Removed obsolete conditional for prerecord * Removed obsolete guards around Warning. * Removed obsolete version guards for pattern matching assertions. * Switched all internal requires to require_relative.

[ruby-talk:444718] [ANN] minitest-autotest 1.2.0 Released

minitest-autotest version 1.2.0 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest-autotest> * rdoc: <http://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest-autotest> autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests. minitest-autotest is the latest incarnation of the venerable and wise autotest. This time, it talks to minitest via minitest-server. As a result, there is no output parsing. There are no regexps to tweak. There's no cruft or overhead. Changes: ### 1.2.0 / 2025-12-11 * 1 minor enhancement: * Bumped path_expander to 2.0.0.

[ruby-talk:444717] [ANN] minitest-bisect 1.8.0 Released
by Ryan Davis 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

minitest-bisect version 1.8.0 has been released! * home: <https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest-bisect> * rdoc: <http://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest-bisect> Hunting down random test failures can be very very difficult, sometimes impossible, but minitest-bisect makes it easy. minitest-bisect helps you isolate and debug random test failures. If your tests only fail randomly, you can reproduce the error consistently by using `--seed <num>`, but what then? How do you figure out which combination of tests out of hundreds are responsible for the failure? You know which test is failing, but what others are causing it to fail or were helping it succeed in a different order? That's what minitest-bisect does best. Changes: ### 1.8.0 / 2025-12-11 * 1 minor enhancement: * Bumped path_expander to 2.0.0.

Failures and errors on this list still get run and reported as usual, but do not cause a non-zero exit code. This enables you to have a green CI with against a list of known bad tests. Changes: ### 1.3.0 / 2025-12-11 * 1 minor enhancement: * Added a -c/--check option to help regenerate file. (bquorning)
