minitest-around

Gem | Source | Documentation

Around block for minitest 5.X.

Alternative for setup/teardown dance.

Installation

gem install minitest-around

Usage

Unit tests

require 'minitest/autorun'
require 'minitest/around/unit'
require 'thread'

class MutexTest < Minitest::Test
  def around(&block)
    Mutex.new.synchronize(&block)
  end

  def test_synchronized
    # ...
  end
end

Spec

require 'minitest/autorun'
require 'minitest/around/spec'
require 'tmpdir'

describe "inside new directory" do
  around do |test|
    Dir.mktmpdir do |dir|
      @dir = dir
      Dir.chdir(dir) do
        test.call
      end
    end
  end

  it "is in new directory" do
    assert_equal @dir, Dir.pwd.sub("/private/var/", "/var/")
  end
end

Multiple before/after blocks

Minitest-around also enables the use of multiple before/after blocks, which normally don't work in minitest.

Caveats

Test bodies won't be run if you don't test.call inside +around+.
around runs inside a Fiber, so use Thread.get_thread_local / set_thread_local instead of Thread.current.[]

Minitest 5.X only

minitest-around currently supports only minitest 5.X.

Please see the mt4 branch for minitest 4.7.X support.
