From: "Thi N." Date: 2012-04-30T10:35:44+09:00 Subject: Need help with unit test Hi all, I'm a newbie to Ruby. I tried the below code but don't understand why the "test_typecheck" does not give any error. Could someone shed a light to my problem ? thanks tony test1.rb ======== require 'test/unit' class SimpleNumber def initialize( num ) raise "input must be a number" unless num.is_a?(Numeric) @x = num end def add( y ) @x + y end def multiply( y ) @x * y end end #error = SimpleNumber.new('abc') <== this raises exeption class TestSimpleNumber < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_simple assert_equal(4, SimpleNumber.new(2).add(2) ) assert_equal(4, SimpleNumber.new(2).multiply(2) ) end def test_typecheck assert_raise( RuntimeError ) { SimpleNumber.new('abc') } end end ===================== I would expect to see assertion failure for test_typecheck but it does not give any. output ====== Run options: # Running tests: ..
