Can it really be that simple?  I thought you'd have to do something like this.

# This runs a suite of unit tests.
# Copy it to some directory in $PATH such as $RUBY_HOME/bin.
# Run it from your project lib directory where the unit test files
# are in a sibling directory named 'test'.
# Usage: ruby suite.rb [gui]

if ARGV[0] == 'gui'
  # Note: The one-click installer doesn't install Fox, GTK or GTK2.
  require 'test/unit/ui/tk/testrunner'
  $runner = Test::Unit::UI::Tk::TestRunner
else
  require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
  $runner = Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner
end

Dir.foreach('../test') do |filename|
  next if not filename =~ /(\S*Test).rb$/
  require "../test/#{filename}"
  klass = Object.const_get($1)
  $runner.run(klass)
end
