Defined in:
lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb

Overview

The base class for all assertion macros.

Using macros

Macros are applied to the return value of assertions. For example, the empty macro asserts that the value is empty or denies that it is empty e.g.

asserts(:comments).empty?
denies(:comments).empty?

Writing your own macros

Macros are added by subclassing AssertionMacro. For example, here’s the implementation of empty:

class EmptyMacro < AssertionMacro
  register :empty

  def evaluate(actual)
    actual.length == 0 ? pass : fail(expected_message(actual).to_be_empty)
  end

  def devaluate(actual)
    actual.empty? ? fail(expected_message(actual).to_not_be_empty) : pass(new_message.is_empty)
  end
end

Instance Method Details

#devaluate(actual) ⇒ Array

Supports negative/converse assertion testing. This is also where magic happens.

Parameters:

Returns:

# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 103

def devaluate(actual)
  !actual ? pass : fail("Expected non-true but got #{actual.inspect} instead")
end

#error(ex) ⇒ Array[Symbol, Exception]

Returns a status tuple indicating the assertion had an unexpected error.

Parameters:

  • ex (Exception) —

    the Exception that was captured

Returns:

  • (Array[Symbol, Exception])

# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 84

def error(ex) [:error, ex]; end

#evaluate(actual) ⇒ Array

Supports positive assertion testing. This is where magic happens.

Parameters:

Returns:

# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 95

def evaluate(actual)
  actual ? pass : fail("Expected non-false but got #{actual.inspect} instead")
end

#expected_message(*phrases) ⇒ Riot::Message

Creates a new message for use in any macro response that will start as “expected ”.

Parameters:

  • *phrases (Array<Object>) —

    array of object whose values will be inspected and added to message

Returns:



123
 
# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 123

def expected_message(*phrases) new_message.expected(*phrases); end

#expects_exception? ⇒ boolean

Returns true if this macro expects to handle Exceptions during evaluation.

Returns:

  • (boolean) 


89
 
# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 89

def expects_exception?; self.class.expects_exception; end

#fail(message) ⇒ Array[Symbol, String, Number, String]

Returns a status tuple indicating the assertion failed and where it failed it if that can be determined.

Parameters:

  • message (String) —

    the message to report with

Returns:

  • (Array[Symbol, String, Number, String]) 


78
 
# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 78

def fail(message) [:fail, message.to_s, line, file]; end

#new_message(*phrases) ⇒ Riot::Message

Creates a new message for use in any macro response that is initially empty.

Parameters:

  • *phrases (Array<Object>) —

    array of object whose values will be inspected and added to message

Returns:



111
 
# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 111

def new_message(*phrases) Message.new(*phrases); end

#pass(message = nil) ⇒ Array[Symbol, String]

Returns a status tuple indicating the assertion passed.

Parameters:

  • message (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the message to report with

Returns:

  • (Array[Symbol, String]) 


71
 
# File 'lib/riot/assertion_macro.rb', line 71

def pass(message=nil) [:pass, message.to_s]; end

#should_have_message(*phrases) ⇒ Riot::Message

Creates a new message for use in any macro response that will start as “should have ”.

Parameters:

  • *phrases (Array<Object>) —

    array of object whose values will be inspected and added to message

Returns:
