Formerly known asMicroTest.

aka pry-test

A small test framework that supports debugging test failures & errors when they happen.

• Simplicity - writing tests should be easy & devoid of friction
• Intelligibility - tests should be readable & unambiguous
• Immediacy - test failures should be dealt with quickly when they occur

• A simple test API
• An awesomefailprypass workflow
• Optional async test runs

An important note on debugging test failures with Pry.

Everything you need to know about PryTest's API is outlined here.

The entire public interface is used in this basic example.

classMathTest <PryTest::Testbeforedo# runs before each test methodendafterdo# runs after each test methodendtest"basic addition"doassert2 +2 ==4endtest"all is right in the world"dorefute0 >1endend

PryTest ships with a demo so you can try it out easily.

gem install pry-testpry-test --helppry-test --demo

Try some advanced features.

pry-test --demo --asyncpry-test --demo --disable-pry

PryTest assumes your test directory is located atPROJECT_ROOT/test;however, this isn't a requirement. You can indicate your test directory location.

pry-test /path/to/test/dir

If you have multiple versions of PryTest installed,it's safest to run your tests withbundle exec.

bundleexec pry-test /path/to/test/dir

PryTest is small & unobtrusive.It plays nice with other test frameworks, & can be introduced to existing projects incrementally.
