MiniTest Should

minitest_should allows you to write unit tests with shoulda style syntax.

---

Usage

When writing your mini-tests, inherit from MiniTest::Should::TestCase.

gem "minitest"

require "minitest/autorun"
require "minitest/should"


# instead of this
class TestWithUnderscores < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase

  def test_should_just_work
    assert true
  end

  def test_something_else_should_be_nothing
    @something = "nothing"
    assert_equal "nothing", @something
  end

end

# use this!
class TestWithShould < MiniTest::Should::TestCase

  should "just work" do
    assert true
  end

  context "Something else" do

    setup do
      @something = "nothing"
    end

    should "be nothing" do
      assert_equal "nothing", @something
    end

  end

end
