= TURN - Test::Unit Reporter (New)
by Tim Pease
http://codeforpeople.rubyforge.org/turn

== DESCRIPTION:

TURN is a new way to view Test::Unit results. With longer running tests, it
can be very frustrating to see a failure (....F...) and then have to wait till
all the tests finish before you can see what the exact failure was. TURN
displays each test on a separate line with failures being displayed
immediately instead of at the end of the tests.

If you have the 'facets' gem installed, then TURN output will be displayed in
wonderful technicolor (but only if your terminal supports ANSI color codes).
Well, the only colors are green and red, but that is still color.

== FEATURES:

General usage provides better test output. Here is some sample output:

TestMyClass
test_alt PASS
test_alt_eq PASS
test_bad FAIL
./test/test_my_class.rb:64:in `test_bad'
<false> is not true.
test_foo PASS
test_foo_eq PASS
TestYourClass
test_method_a PASS
test_method_b PASS
test_method_c PASS
============================================================================
pass: 7, fail: 1, error: 0
total: 15 tests with 42 assertions in 0.018 seconds
============================================================================

Turn also provides solo and cross test modes when run from the *turn* commandline
application.

== SYNOPSIS:

If you have the 'facets' gem installed, then TURN output will be displayed in
wonderful technicolor (but only if your terminal supports ANSI color codes).
Well, the only colors are green and red, but that is still color.

Note that the 'facets' gem is also required if you wish to use the
progressbar output mode.

=== Command Line

You can use the *turn* executable in place of the *ruby* interpreter.

turn -Ilib test/test_all.rb

This will invoke the ruby interpreter and automatically require the turn
formatting library. All command line arguments are passed "as is" to the
ruby interpreter.

To use the solo runner.

turn --solo -Ilib test/

This will run all tests in the test/ directory in a separate process.
Likewise for the cross runner.

turn --cross -Ilib test/

This will run every pairing of tests in a separate process.

=== Require

Simply require the TURN package from within your test suite.

require 'turn'

This will configure Test::Unit to use TURN formatting for displaying test
restuls. A better line to use, though, is the following:

begin; require 'turn'; rescue LoadError; end

When you distribute your code, the test suite can be run without requiring
the end user to install the TURN package.

For a Rails application, put the require line into the 'test/test_helper.rb'
scipt. Now your Rails tests will use TURN formatting.

== REQUIREMENTS:

* facets 2.0+ (for colorized output and progressbar output mode)

== INSTALL:

* sudo gem install turn
