Testrocket is a super simple (as simple as it gets really) testing library for Ruby 1.9 and higher.

It was initially developed for a CodeBrawl contest and it won! People asked me to release it 'for real' so here we are.

To install:

gem install testrocket

As yet there are no useful bits and pieces for creating test files (look at the example, it's easy!) or Rake tasks. But it's all crazy simple. A few things may be added later on.

Dependencies

• Ruby 1.9 or higher
• minitest/spec (part of MRI 1.9+ standard library)

Example

require 'testrocket'

# BASIC USAGE
# +-> { block that should succeed }
# --> { block that should fail }

+-> { Die.new(2) }
--> { raise }
+-> { 2 + 2 == 4 }

# These two tests will deliberately fail
+-> { raise }
--> { true }

# A 'pending' test
~-> { "this is a pending test" }

# A description
!-> { "use this for descriptive output and to separate your test parts" }

Other Features

By default, output is written to STDOUT (as well as returned by the test expressions themselves). You can override where test output goes like so:

TestRocket.out = File.new('/dev/null', 'w')

TestRocket.out also supports Logger instances.
