[ANN] Maintenance Release of Verify - 0.3.1

No I did not do this on purpose :wink:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3824
or
gem install verify
or
gem update verify

v 0.3.1
2009-06-24 Verify

···

-----------------
* Heavy refactoring, the code sucks much less now.
* Trying to get it to run with JRuby --1.9, no such luck, waiting for
the next release.

Enjoy

No I did not do this on purpose :wink:

and the lack of a description? was that on purpose too?

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=3824

From here I found:

The Labrador package is to programming what the Labrador bread is to dogs, for me. I like it. Very compact enum method API, Ivar Free Ruby by means of closure based properties and who knows what will come...

nom nom Labrador bread nom

and yet, still no idea what this software is, besides tasty.

This is only a maintenance release I did not want to advertise my tiny
package too much.
I just have no time to update my Rubyforge project homepage, but there
is a short description http://labrador.rubyforge.org/
Here is the README

This is the very simple Verify mini test framework

It emphasises on being able to check things out quickly without having
to load a heavy test
framework.
It evolves around my needs but for the time being it is pretty lightweight.

  require 'verify'

  Verify "Some Important Facts" do
    verify "42 is true" do
      42
    end
    refute "42 is pretty big" do
      42 > 100_000
    end
    verify_exceptions NoMethodError do
      42.unrelinguished!
    end
  end

These forms are very easy to remember, but sometimes one needs to see where the
errors, are, in order to achieve that one can use the parameter form

  Verify "With parameters" do
    verify msg: "Everything is well", target: 42, actual: 21 * 2
    refute msg: "But not too much", target: 42, actual: 41
  end

Mockify allows to capture stdout or simulate stdin, all you need to do is to
require 'mockify' *before* requiring 'verify' and than you can provide stdin
and get stdout

  Verify "Providing stdin" do
    with_input %w{The Quick Brown Fox} do
      verify %{first line is "The"} do
        "The" == gets.chomp
      end
    end
  end

  Verify "Capturing stdout" do
    out = with_output do | o |
      puts 42
      verify target: "42\n", actual: o.string
    end
  end
  verify msg: "with_output converted out to an array of lines",
      actual: out.map( &:chomp ),
      target: %w{ 42 }
  end

Enjoy
