Subject: Test::Unit advice - blocking method

Hi all,

I've got a method in the win32-clipboard library, Clipboard.notify_change,
that blocks until something changes in the clipboard. But I'm not sure how
to test it.

Basically, here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

def test_notify_change
   assert_nothing_raised{ Clipboard.notify_change }    # This will block
until something happens
   assert_nothing_raised{ Clipboard.set_data('test') } # This should trigger
the notify_change method
end

I tried using a thread within the test itself but it didn't work right. I
was probably doing something wrong.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Dan
