More detailed Test::Unit error report

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m starting to use Test::Unit to create unit tests for my Rails
Applications/Plugins. I don’t have much experience in Ruby Unit Testing.
The
problem is that the output report is very simple and it is very
difficult to
discover where is the error. Test::Unit does not show the line number of
the
error and the Stack Trace printed using the --trace option does not help
either.

Here is the output of my test:

/home/gustavo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby -e
$stdout.sync=true;$stderr.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift)
/home/gustavo/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/rake test:plugins --trace

Please, anyone have an idea of how to improve this error output??

Thanks in advance,

That’s not the normal failing test output - it looks to me like things
are blowing up before your test even gets run. Do you have any idea
where this score= problem could be coming from?

Yes. The problem is inside the test. I’m testing an Rails plugin I’m
developing. I’ve created I fake ‘Report’ class to test my ‘acts_as’
method.
Here is the Report class:

class Report

include SeoAuditor

declare_auditor do
category ‘Server’ do
criteria ‘Response time’, :max_score => 5 do

  end
end

category 'Title Tag' do
  analyzed_text { 'Texto Fake' }

  criteria 'Title Tag found', :max_score => 5 do

  end

  criteria 'Title Tag has text', :max_score => 5 do

  end
end

end
end

declare_auditor is the ‘acts_as’ method and this is my test case:

test “Categories order” do
report = Report.new
result = report.audit

categories = result.categories

assert_equal categories[0].name, 'Server'
assert_equal categories[1].name, 'Title Tag'

end

I have discovered where the error is: it occurs when I call the audit
method
(in 3rd line), which is created in Report class by using declare_auditor
method, but the real problem is the lacking of information of the errors
in
the output of the Test::Unit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gustavo
