Hi all,

I’m now planning to use Ruby/Mock with Test::Unit. Ruby/Mock  
document says that it works with RubyUnit, but does it work  
well with Test::Unit? Or does it have any dependency on  
RubyUnit?

And also, are there any examples or tutorial-type documentation  
for Ruby/Mock?

Thanks,

Hello Takashi Sano,

I have used Ruby/Mock with TestUnit quite a bit. I downloaded from the Ruby  
web CVS at the following location:  
[http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/rough/lib/testmock/](http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/rough/lib/testmock/)

It has been renamed to TestMock in alignment with TestUnit. I believe it will  
be included in Ruby 1.8 final. Hope this helps you.

Hi Holden,

Thank you for your prompt reply! I’ll look into that. I’m  
also happy to know that TestMock will be included in the  
ruby 1.8 standard distribution. Thanks!
