Subject: [ruby-talk:26867] Small RubyUnit extension


At the back of my mind, I seem to remember someone doing something
similar to this, but I couldn't find it, so...

I got sick of typing all the housekeeping when creating a new RubyUnit
test class, so I wrote something to make it simpler. Now I just say:

  require 'rubyunit'

  class TestSomething < TestCase
    def test_one
       assert_equals(1, 2)
    end
  end

(No more runit/, RUNIT::, and TestRunner.run(...) stuff--that's the
whole file). I assume that my tests are in a separate file, and that
the file may contain multiple test classes.

The file I 'require' contains:

  require 'runit/testcase'
  require 'runit/cui/testrunner'

  module RUNIT
    TEST_CLASSES = []

    def TestCase.inherited(test_class)
      TEST_CLASSES << test_class
    end
  end

  TestCase = RUNIT::TestCase

  END {
    suite = RUNIT::TestSuite.new
    if ARGV.size == 0
      RUNIT::TEST_CLASSES.each {|klass| suite.add(klass.suite)}
    else
      if RUNIT::TEST_CLASSES.size > 1
        raise "Can't specify individual methods with more that one test class in file"
      end
      ARGV.each do |testmethod|
        suite.add(RUNIT::TEST_CLASSES[0].new(testmethod))
      end
    end
    RUNIT::CUI::TestRunner.run(suite)
  }


Suketa-san: is there any chance that something like this could be
incorporated into the distribution?
