Colorized output for minitest

purdytest¶ ↑

• github.com/tenderlove/purdytest

DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

Purdytest extends minitest with pretty colors. Simply require minitest, then require purdytest, and you have colorific output on your terminal!

For colorized diff output, make sure you have ‘colordiff` installed.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:¶ ↑

• It works! (I think)

• If you want colored diffs, make sure you have [colordiff](colordiff.sourceforge.net/) installed. You can usually install colordiff via ‘brew install colordiff` or `port install colordiff`.

SYNOPSIS:¶ ↑

require 'minitest/autorun' # from minitest
require 'purdytest'

describe 'my amazing test' do
  # generate many green dots!
  50.times do |i|
    it "must #{i}" do
      100.must_equal 100
    end
  end

  # generate some red Fs!
  2.times do |i|
    it "compares #{i} to #{i + 1}" do
      i.must_equal i + 1
    end
  end

  it 'does stuff and shows a diff' do
    [1,2,3,4,5].must_equal %w{ a quick brown fox jumped over something! }
  end

  it 'does stuff and shows yellow' do
    skip "don't care!"
  end
end

Output color can be somewhat configured via Purdytest.configure:

require 'minitest/autorun' # from minitest
require 'purdytest'

Purdytest.configure do |io|
  io.pass = :blue
end

describe 'my amazing test' do
  # generate many green dots!
  50.times do |i|
    it "must #{i}" do
      100.must_equal 100
    end
  end
end

For a list of possible configuration options, just check out the purdytest source code.

purdytest's Issues

minitest 3+ ?

depends on 2.2, any chance to loosen this requirement ?

undefined method `output'

I get an error when running your README script example:

ruby-1.9.2 me@mbp:ruby $ ruby test.rb 
/Users/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/purdytest-1.0.0/lib/purdytest.rb:53:in `<top (required)>': undefined method `output' for MiniTest::Unit:Class (NoMethodError)
    from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:33:in `require'
    from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:33:in `rescue in require'
    from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
    from test.rb:2:in `<main>'

Seems to conflict with cover_me

Changes path of coverage.data to /coverage.data in which I get:
lib/cover_me/results.rb:34:in `initialize': Permission denied - /coverage.data (Errno::EACCES)

Removing purdytest fixes this issue. I will try to isolate some more in a smaller project and update this issue with more details and reproduce steps.

*** LOCAL GEMS ***
cover_me (1.2.0)
purdytest (1.0.0)
