Allows you to focus on a few tests with ease without having to use command-line arguments. Good for tools like guard that don’t have enough brains to understand test output. Cf. minitest-autotest (an example of a test runner with strong testing logic).
Inspired by github.com/seattlerb/minitest/issues/213
-
‘focus` class method allows you to specify that the next test defined should be run.
-
Use –no-focus to temporarily disable or override with –name arguments.
require "minitest/autorun"
require "minitest/focus"
class MyTest < Minitest::Test
def test_unrelated; ...; end # will NOT run
focus def test_method2; ...; end # will run (direct--preferred)
focus
def test_method; ...; end # will run (indirect)
def test_method_edgecase; ...; end # will NOT run
end
# or, with spec-style:
describe "MyTest2" do
focus; it "does something" do pass end
focus it("does something else") { pass } # block precedence needs {}
end
-
minitest 5+
-
sudo gem install minitest-focus
