Converting from Runit to TestUnit

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

Yesterday I just convert my application to the new Test::Unit.
After reading some ruby-talk archive some of them already in
Nat’s TODO list but I include them as a reminder.

Here is my impression:

  1. There should be a warning about the rename of setup to set_up.
    Is there any way to issue a warning from a library? like Perl warn.
  2. What flunk means? Maybe it should renamed to assert_fail
    (like Runit) or any other better name.
    I also need assert_ok(message = “”) so my test is in symmetry.
  3. I prefer the RUnit Console Test Runner, it is more verbose
    and the dot distract me from the Failure/Error message.
    If you still prefer the dot then make the verbose mode
    an option so I could run my test like this
    ./my_test.rb -v
  4. Remove the ellipsis (…) in “Started…”
  5. Rather than
···

=====================================================================
Failure occurred in test_method(TestClass) [./t.rb:20]: Some_long_msg

I prefer

Failure in TestClass#test_method [./t.rb:20]:
Some_long_msg

Anyway, thank you Nat for a wonderful unit test framework.

Wassallam,
