Q: How not to run TestCase

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

I have code like this:

class SuperTestCase << Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_doit
   assert_equal('a', get_a)
  end

  def get_a
    raise 'subclass responsibility'
  end
end

class SubATest < SuperTestCase
  def get_a
    return 'a'
  end
end

class SubBTest < SuperTestCase
  def get_a
    return ?a.chr
  end
end

Of course, I can not use test/unit.rb. But I don't know other way to
run this. Would you tell me how not to run SuperTestCase?

well, you could have it in a module and include it via mixin. Another way may be to write your own test suite. Just my two cents.

Putting common test methods in a mixin module has worked well for me.

That would be my suggestion as well.
