Running tests from another test case

Rails
1

I’m in the position that would be really useful for me to run in a
testcase a test belonging to another testcase.
Assuming I do not want to use modules, how could I do that?

My code would be something like this:

class MyTestCase < Test::Rails:TestCase

def myTest

matc = MyAnotherTestCase.new

end
end

The code above seems to work but when I run MyTestCase all the tests
belonging to MyAnotherTestCase are executed.

What would I need to do to execute only a single test from
MyAnotherTestCase?

Any suggestions?

Just a guess, but you could use
MyAnotherTestCase.instance_method(‘test_foo’) to get an UnboundMethod
for test_foo and then bind it to the current instance.
I really would go with either

  • module
  • helper methods (that aren’t actually tests) in test_helper.rb (or
    create another foo_helper file with those methods)
