Ruby

minitest_tu_shim version 1.3.3 has been released!

minitest_tu_shim bridges the gap between the small and fast minitest
and ruby’s huge and slow test/unit.

Changes:

1.3.3 / 2013-08-29

  • 1 minor enhancement:

    • Added assert_block because rails 3 and other old libs still use it.

  • 3 bug fixes:

    • Cleaned up 1.9.3 warnings.
    • Minor fixes to tests to get them happy for minitest changes.
    • Updated tests to work with new minitest output and methods

Is minitest really small? Is it old information?

  • The number of lines of minitest 1.3.0: 595
  • The number of lines of minitest 5.0.6: 3210
  • The number of lines of test/unit in Ruby 1.8.7: 3572

If I remove the following unused test runners from test/unit
in Ruby 1.8.7 count, I get 2163. It is smaller than minitest
5.0.6.

Unused test runners:
268 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/ui/fox/testrunner.rb
416 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/ui/gtk/testrunner.rb
465 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/ui/gtk2/testrunner.rb
260 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit/ui/tk/testrunner.rb

You’re really going to compare using wc -l? Minitest has over a thousand lines
of rdoc. Test/unit has about a quarter of that.

Minitest provides unit testing, a speccing DSL, curve fitting benchmark testing,
Mocking, all while still being one of the fastest test frameworks out there.

Test/unit only has unit testing. And it isn’t fast.

Yes, I’d still say that it is small if you’re actually going to compare
apples-to-apples.

Thanks for describing about “small”. I understand.

Yes, I’d still say that minitest is fast, considering it still beats the pants
off of test/unit on both positive and negative test benchmarks.

Could you show the test benchmarks? I want to try to run
them on my environment.

Thanks,
