assert-spork

Enables you to run your assert tests with spork.

This gem is an adaptation of spork-testunit to work with the assert testing framework.

Installation

gem install spork-assert

Usage

Run spork in one console.

spork assert

In another console, use sporktest to run your tests. You can use assert's rake test task names to run only a subset of your tests.

sporktest # run all tests
sporktest test:unit # run only unit tests
sporktest test:functional:your_controller # run a single test

Note: There is no need to use bundle exec when running the sporktest command. It is completely unnecessary and adds additional wait time before your tests are run.

Configuring rails applications to work with spork-assert

Add spork-assert to your Gemfile.

gem 'spork-assert', :require => false

Set up spork and assert in your test/test_helper.rb file.

require 'spork'

Spork.prefork do
  ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"
  require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)
  require 'assert'
  require 'assert-rails/test_help'
end

You will probably also need some Spork.trap_method Jujitsu
