This isn't necessary. In fact, you only need the autorun and launcher lines.

I'd start by cleaning up the above. it works for me:

10011 % ruby -Ilib -rminitest/autorun -e 'describe true do it "works" do x = capture_io do puts "hi" end; p x end end'
Run options: --seed 27063

# Running tests:

["hi\n", ""]
.

Finished tests in 0.000760s, 1315.7895 tests/s, 0.0000 assertions/s.

1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips


If you still can't get it to work, please file a bug. This is no the right forum for minitest support.
