minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking.

"I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were
 allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were
 paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test
 frameworks...

 I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable
 compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and
 thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity."

-- Wayne E. Seguin

minitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework. It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and readable.

minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto minitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec expectations.

minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb co-worker doesn’t replace your linear algorithm with an exponential one!

minitest/mock by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock (and stub) object framework.

minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P

minitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case discovery.

"Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing
 framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!"

-- Piotr Szotkowski

Comparing to rspec:

rspec is a testing DSL. minitest is ruby.

-- Adam Hawkins, "Bow Before MiniTest"

minitest doesn’t reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like: classes, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to learn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like extract-method refactorings still apply.

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

• minitest/test - 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!

• minitest/test_task - a full-featured and clean rake task generator.

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

• Written by squishy human beings. Software can never be perfect. We will all eventually die.

See design_rationale.rb to see how specs and tests work in minitest.

Given that you’d like to test the following class:

class Meme
  def i_can_has_cheezburger?
    "OHAI!"
  end

  def will_it_blend?
    "YES!"
  end
end

Define your tests as methods beginning with test_.

require "minitest/autorun"

class TestMeme < Minitest::Test
  def setup
    @meme = Meme.new
  end

  def test_that_kitty_can_eat
    assert_equal "OHAI!", @meme.i_can_has_cheezburger?
  end

  def test_that_it_will_not_blend
    refute_match /^no/i, @meme.will_it_blend?
  end

  def test_that_will_be_skipped
    skip "test this later"
  end
end

require "minitest/autorun"

describe Meme do
  before do
    @meme = Meme.new
  end

  describe "when asked about cheeseburgers" do
    it "must respond positively" do
      _(@meme.i_can_has_cheezburger?).must_equal "OHAI!"
    end
  end

  describe "when asked about blending possibilities" do
    it "won't say no" do
      _(@meme.will_it_blend?).wont_match /^no/i
    end
  end
end

For matchers support check out:

• github.com/wojtekmach/minitest-matchers

• github.com/rmm5t/minitest-matchers_vaccine

Add benchmarks to your tests.

# optionally run benchmarks, good for CI-only work!
require "minitest/benchmark" if ENV["BENCH"]

class TestMeme < Minitest::Benchmark
  # Override self.bench_range or default range is [1, 10, 100, 1_000, 10_000]
  def bench_my_algorithm
    assert_performance_linear 0.9999 do |n| # n is a range value
      @obj.my_algorithm(n)
    end
  end
end

Or add them to your specs. If you make benchmarks optional, you’ll need to wrap your benchmarks in a conditional since the methods won’t be defined. In minitest 5, the describe name needs to match /Bench(mark)?$/.

describe "Meme Benchmark" do
  if ENV["BENCH"] then
    bench_performance_linear "my_algorithm", 0.9999 do |n|
      100.times do
        @obj.my_algorithm(n)
      end
    end
  end
end

outputs something like:

# Running benchmarks:

TestBlah	100	1000	10000
bench_my_algorithm	 0.006167	 0.079279	 0.786993
bench_other_algorithm	 0.061679	 0.792797	 7.869932

Output is tab-delimited to make it easy to paste into a spreadsheet.

Mocks and stubs defined using terminology by Fowler & Meszaros at www.martinfowler.com/bliki/TestDouble.html:

“Mocks are pre-programmed with expectations which form a specification of the calls they are expected to receive. They can throw an exception if they receive a call they don’t expect and are checked during verification to ensure they got all the calls they were expecting.”

class MemeAsker
  def initialize(meme)
    @meme = meme
  end

  def ask(question)
    method = question.tr(" ", "_") + "?"
    @meme.__send__(method)
  end
end

require "minitest/autorun"

describe MemeAsker, :ask do
  describe "when passed an unpunctuated question" do
    it "should invoke the appropriate predicate method on the meme" do
      @meme = Minitest::Mock.new
      @meme_asker = MemeAsker.new @meme
      @meme.expect :will_it_blend?, :return_value

      @meme_asker.ask "will it blend"

      @meme.verify
    end
  end
end

Minitest mocks do not support multi-threading. If it works, fine, if it doesn’t you can use regular ruby patterns and facilities like local variables. Here’s an example of asserting that code inside a thread is run:

def test_called_inside_thread
  called = false
  pr = Proc.new { called = true }
  thread = Thread.new(&pr)
  thread.join
  assert called, "proc not called"
end

Mocks and stubs are defined using terminology by Fowler & Meszaros at www.martinfowler.com/bliki/TestDouble.html:

“Stubs provide canned answers to calls made during the test”.

Minitest’s stub method overrides a single method for the duration of the block.

def test_stale_eh
  obj_under_test = Something.new

  refute obj_under_test.stale?

  Time.stub :now, Time.at(0) do   # stub goes away once the block is done
    assert obj_under_test.stale?
  end
end

A note on stubbing: In order to stub a method, the method must actually exist prior to stubbing. Use a singleton method to create a new non-existing method:

def obj_under_test.fake_method
  ...
end

Ideally, you’ll use a rake task to run your tests (see below), either piecemeal or all at once. BUT! You don’t have to:

% ruby -Ilib:test test/minitest/test_minitest_test.rb
Run options: --seed 37685

# Running:

...................................................................... (etc)

Finished in 0.107130s, 1446.8403 runs/s, 2959.0217 assertions/s.

155 runs, 317 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips

There are runtime options available, both from minitest itself, and also provided via plugins. To see them, simply run with --help:

% ruby -Ilib:test test/minitest/test_minitest_test.rb --help
minitest options:
    -h, --help                       Display this help.
    -s, --seed SEED                  Sets random seed. Also via env. Eg: SEED=n rake
    -v, --verbose                    Verbose. Show progress processing files.
    -n, --name PATTERN               Filter run on /regexp/ or string.
    -e, --exclude PATTERN            Exclude /regexp/ or string from run.

Known extensions: pride, autotest
    -p, --pride                      Pride. Show your testing pride!
    -a, --autotest                   Connect to autotest server.

You can set up a rake task to run all your tests by adding this to your Rakefile:

require "minitest/test_task"

Minitest::TestTask.create # named test, sensible defaults

# or more explicitly:

Minitest::TestTask.create(:test) do |t|
  t.libs << "test"
  t.libs << "lib"
  t.warning = false
  t.test_globs = ["test/**/*_test.rb"]
end

task :default => :test

Each of these will generate 4 tasks:

rake test          :: Run the test suite.
rake test:cmd      :: Print out the test command.
rake test:isolated :: Show which test files fail when run separately.
rake test:slow     :: Show bottom 25 tests sorted by time.

There are a bunch of variables you can supply to rake to modify the run.

MT_LIB_EXTRAS :: Extra libs to dynamically override/inject for custom runs.
N             :: -n: Tests to run (string or /regexp/).
X             :: -x: Tests to exclude (string or /regexp/).
A             :: Any extra arguments. Honors shell quoting.
MT_CPU        :: How many threads to use for parallel test runs
SEED          :: -s --seed Sets random seed.
TESTOPTS      :: Deprecated, same as A
FILTER        :: Deprecated, same as A

To define a plugin, add a file named minitest/XXX_plugin.rb to your project/gem. That file must be discoverable via ruby’s LOAD_PATH (via rubygems or otherwise). Minitest will find and require that file using Gem.find_files. It will then try to call plugin_XXX_init during startup. The option processor will also try to call plugin_XXX_options passing the OptionParser instance and the current options hash. This lets you register your own command-line options. Here’s a totally bogus example:

# minitest/bogus_plugin.rb:

module Minitest
  def self.plugin_bogus_options(opts, options)
    opts.on "--myci", "Report results to my CI" do
      options[:myci] = true
      options[:myci_addr] = get_myci_addr
      options[:myci_port] = get_myci_port
    end
  end

  def self.plugin_bogus_init(options)
    self.reporter << MyCI.new(options) if options[:myci]
  end
end

Minitest uses composite reporter to output test results using multiple reporter instances. You can add new reporters to the composite during the init_plugins phase. As we saw in plugin_bogus_init above, you simply add your reporter instance to the composite via <<.

AbstractReporter defines the API for reporters. You may subclass it and override any method you want to achieve your desired behavior.

start

Called when the run has started.

record

Called for each result, passed or otherwise.

report

Called at the end of the run.

passed?

Called to see if you detected any problems.

Using our example above, here is how we might implement MyCI:

# minitest/bogus_plugin.rb

module Minitest
  class MyCI < AbstractReporter
    attr_accessor :results, :addr, :port

    def initialize options
      self.results = []
      self.addr = options[:myci_addr]
      self.port = options[:myci_port]
    end

    def record result
      self.results << result
    end

    def report
      CI.connect(addr, port).send_results self.results
    end
  end

  # code from above...
end

Minitest is a dependency of rails, which until fairly recently had an overzealous backwards compatibility policy. As such, I’m stuck supporting versions of ruby that are long past EOL. Once rails 5.2 is dropped (hopefully April 2021), I get to drop a bunch of versions of ruby that I have to currently test against.

(As of 2021-01-31)

Current versions of rails: (endoflife.date/rails)

| rails | min ruby | rec ruby | minitest | status   |
|-------+----------+----------+----------+----------|

|   6.1 | >= 2.5   |      3.0 | >= 5.1   | Current  |
|   6.0 | >= 2.5   |      2.6 | >= 5.1   | Security |
|   5.2 | >= 2.2.2 |      2.5 | ~> 5.1   | Security | EOL @railsconf 2021?

The following implementation and test:

class Worker < SimpleDelegator
  def work
  end
end

describe Worker do
  before do
    @worker = Worker.new(Object.new)
  end

  it "must respond to work" do
    _(@worker).must_respond_to :work
  end
end

outputs a failure:

  1) Failure:
Worker#test_0001_must respond to work [bug11.rb:16]:
Expected #<Object:0x007f9e7184f0a0> (Object) to respond to #work.

Worker is a SimpleDelegate which in 1.9+ is a subclass of BasicObject. Expectations are put on Object (one level down) so the Worker (SimpleDelegate) hits method_missing and delegates down to the Object.new instance. That object doesn’t respond to work so the test fails.

You can bypass SimpleDelegate#method_missing by extending the worker with Minitest::Expectations. You can either do that in your setup at the instance level, like:

before do
  @worker = Worker.new(Object.new)
  @worker.extend Minitest::Expectations
end

or you can extend the Worker class (within the test file!), like:

class Worker
  include ::Minitest::Expectations
end

Use a module. That’s exactly what they’re for:

module UsefulStuff
  def useful_method
    # ...
  end
end

describe Blah do
  include UsefulStuff

  def test_whatever
    # useful_method available here
  end
end

Remember, describe simply creates test classes. It’s just ruby at the end of the day and all your normal Good Ruby Rules (tm) apply. If you want to extend your test using setup/teardown via a module, just make sure you ALWAYS call super. before/after automatically call super for you, so make sure you don’t do it twice.

Use a constant with begin…end like this:

describe Blah do
  SETUP = begin
     # ... this runs once when describe Blah starts
  end
  # ...
end

This can be useful for expensive initializations or sharing state. Remember, this is just ruby code, so you need to make sure this technique and sharing state doesn’t interfere with your tests.

Are you running the test with Bundler (e.g. via bundle exec )? If so, in order to require minitest, you must first add the gem 'minitest' to your Gemfile and run bundle. Once it’s installed, you should be able to require minitest and run your tests.

Minitest requires Hoe.

This is a common problem in Windows, where the default external Encoding is often CP850, but can affect any platform. Minitest can run test suites using any Encoding, but to run Minitest’s own tests you must have a default external Encoding of UTF-8.

If your encoding is wrong, you’ll see errors like:

--- expected
+++ actual
@@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
 # encoding: UTF-8
 -"Expected /\\w+/ to not match \"blah blah blah\"."
 +"Expected /\\w+/ to not match # encoding: UTF-8
 +\"blah blah blah\"."

To check your current encoding, run:

ruby -e 'puts Encoding.default_external'

If your output is something other than UTF-8, you can set the RUBYOPTS env variable to a value of ‘-Eutf-8’. Something like:

RUBYOPT='-Eutf-8' ruby -e 'puts Encoding.default_external'

Check your OS/shell documentation for the precise syntax (the above will not work on a basic Windows CMD prompt, look for the SET command). Once you’ve got it successfully outputing UTF-8, use the same setting when running rake in Minitest.

This is also a problem primarily affecting Windows developers. PowerShell has a command called diff, but it is not suitable for use with Minitest.

If you see failures like either of these, you are probably missing diff tool:

  4) Failure:
TestMinitestUnitTestCase#test_assert_equal_different_long [D:/ruby/seattlerb/minitest/test/minitest/test_minitest_test.rb:936]:
Expected: "--- expected\n+++ actual\n@@ -1 +1 @@\n-\"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha\"\n+\"blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah\"\n"
  Actual: "Expected: \"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha\"\n  Actual: \"blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah\""

  5) Failure:
TestMinitestUnitTestCase#test_assert_equal_different_collection_hash_hex_invisible [D:/ruby/seattlerb/minitest/test/minitest/test_minitest_test.rb:845]:
Expected: "No visible difference in the Hash#inspect output.\nYou should look at the implementation of #== on Hash or its members.\n
{1=>#<Object:0xXXXXXX>}"
  Actual: "Expected: {1=>#<Object:0x00000003ba0470>}\n  Actual: {1=>#<Object:0x00000003ba0448>}"

If you use Cygwin or MSYS2 or similar there are packages that include a GNU diff for Windows. If you don’t, you can download GNU diffutils from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/diffutils.htm (make sure to add it to your PATH).

You can make sure it’s installed and path is configured properly with:

diff.exe -v

There are multiple lines of output, the first should be something like:

diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1

If you are using PowerShell make sure you run diff.exe, not just diff, which will invoke the PowerShell built in function.

sudo gem install minitest

On 1.9, you already have it. To get newer candy you can still install the gem, and then requiring “minitest/autorun” should automatically pull it in. If not, you’ll need to do it yourself:

gem "minitest"     # ensures you"re using the gem, and not the built-in MT
require "minitest/autorun"

# ... usual testing stuffs ...

DO NOTE: There is a serious problem with the way that ruby 1.9/2.0 packages their own gems. They install a gem specification file, but don’t install the gem contents in the gem path. This messes up Gem.find_files and many other things (gem which, gem contents, etc).

Just install minitest as a gem for real and you’ll be happier.
