Test/unit runner with ui?

ruby-talk
1

Context: 1.8.2 on WinXP: I find myself often in a mode of making changes to
code and needing to drill down into specific tests with logging or
breakpoints. So I want an easy way to control which tests to run when in
that mode.

Which UI test runner is easily used with test/unit? I tried Tk assuming it
was 'built in'
     require 'test/unit/ui/tk/testrunner'
and
   Test::Unit::UI::Tk::TestRunner.run( TestMacros ) # at end of my test
class

And I got

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Process ruby exited with code 3

Thanks!

Operator error (though it's a strange error message for a mis-typed test
class name). Sorry for the noise.

It runs now. But is there a way of getting a list of all test methods /
classes / suites and selecting only those I want to run?

Thanks!

Yes, specify the names of the test functions you want to run on the
command line:

  ./test_all.rb test_schneir_a

That was the first thing I tried, but it still ran all the tests. It could
be that command-line options only allow me to select between different test
suite files. But my ruby file looks like:

···

----------------
# ... my code to be tested
class A ... end
class B ... end

# test code
if __FILE__ == $0
  require 'test/unit'
  class Test_C < Test::Unit::TestCase
    def test_1; ...; end
    def test_2; ...; end
  end
end
---------------
Am I doing something wrong? Can I get selection at the level of test methods
i.e. test_1 vs. test_2 ?

Thanks!

As a general rule, try --help first:

   ntalbott@jacob:~/sandbox$ ruby t.rb --help
   Test::Unit automatic runner.
   Usage: t.rb [options] [-- untouched arguments]
   ...

For filtering by test, use -n/--name

   ntalbott@jacob:~/sandbox$ ruby t.rb --verbose
   ...
   test_a(T): .
   test_b(T): .
   ...
   2 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

   ntalbott@jacob:~/sandbox$ ruby t.rb --verbose -n test_a
   ...
   test_a(T): .
   ...
   1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

Hope that helps,
