[ANN] test-unit 2.4.7

Hi,

test-unit 2.4.7 has been released.

Web: http://test-unit.rubyforge.org/#test-unit
Install: gem install test-unit

Description:

test-unit is a testing framwork that improves Test::Unit
bundled in Ruby 1.8.x.

Ruby 1.9.x bundles minitest not Test::Unit. Test::Unit
bundled in Ruby 1.8.x had not been improved but unbundled
Test::Unit (test-unit) is improving actively.

Highlights:

            Recommended require style is changed

We changed recommended require style.

Old recommended style:

  gem "test-unit"
  require "test/unit"

New recommended style:

  require "test-unit"

New recommended style can avoid mixed bundled Test::Unit and
unbundled Test::Unit (test-unit) load.

         Supported code snippet around failure test

Here is a sample test that always fails:

  require "test-unit"

  class TestCodeSnippet < Test::Unit::TestCase
    def test_always_fail
      assert_equal("Expected!", "Actual!")
    end
  end

Here is a sample test result that includes code snippet:

  % ruby /tmp/test-code-snippet.rb
  Loaded suite /tmp/test-code-snippet
  Started
  F

···

===============================================================================
  Failure:
  test_always_fail(TestCodeSnippet)
  /tmp/test-code-snippet.rb:5:in `test_always_fail'
       2:
       3: class TestCodeSnippet < Test::Unit::TestCase
       4: def test_always_fail
    => 5: assert_equal("Expected!", "Actual!")
       6: end
       7: end

  <"Expected!"> expected but was
  <"Actual!">

  diff:
  ? Expected !
  ? A ual
  ===============================================================================
  ...

It will be helpful to debug tests.
