Does Minitest Have A Version Of RSpec's Anything?

minitest, ruby

Solution

Minitest, since it's included to Ruby 1.9, provides `MiniTest::Spec`, a contextual RSpec like syntax. It's not RSpec.

From the Github Page, this is what Minitest provides

- minitest/autorun - the easy and explicit way to run all your tests.

- minitest/unit - a very fast, simple, and clean test system.

- minitest/spec - a very fast, simple, and clean spec system.

- minitest/mock - a simple and clean mock/stub system.

- minitest/benchmark - an awesome way to assert your algorithm's performance.

- minitest/pride - show your pride in testing!

- Incredibly small and fast runner, but no bells and whistles.

To do the same than `mock_obj.should_receive(:method).with(anything)`, you'll write

require 'minitest/autorun'

describe YourClass do
  it 'should receive a call to method' do
    mock_obj = Minitest::Mock.new
    mock_obj.expect(:method, :your_return, [anything])
    # ...
    mock_obj.verify # verify that the expected call has been made
  end
end
