minitest version 5.21.0 has been released! * home: <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> * vim: <https://github.com/sunaku/vim-ruby-minitest> * emacs: <https://github.com/arthurnn/minitest-emacs> 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: ### 5.21.0 / 2024-01-11 * 10 minor enhancements: * Add include_all kw arg to assert_respond_to and refute_respond_to. * Added --quiet flag to skip ProgressReporter (prints the dots). Minor speedup. * Added Minitest::Compress#compress and added it to UnexpectedError. * Added ability to initialize BacktraceFilter w/ custom regexp. * Filter failure backtraces using backtrace_filter before calculating location. (thomasmarshall) * Make BacktraceFilter#filter compatible with locations (still compares strings). * Optimized Assertion#location ~30%. * Output relative paths for all failures/errors/backtraces. * Refactored location information in assertions, now using locations. * Removed thread and mutex_m dependencies. (hsbt, eregon) * 2 bug fixes: * Drop undocumented bt arg in #skip. Dunno why that ever happened, prolly for testing? * Fix mock to work with ruby debugger enabled. (keithlayne)
