3.2.9 - 2018-12-01

Improvements

  • Added support for data generation by method. data_#{test_name} is called to generate data for test_name test.

  • Added support for data matrix generation.

    Example:

    ruby data(:a, [0, 1, 2]) data(:b, [:x, :y]) def test_data(data) end

    This example generates the following data matrix:

    • label: "a: 0, b: :x", data: {a: 0, b: :x}
    • label: "a: 0, b: :y", data: {a: 0, b: :y}
    • label: "a: 1, b: :x", data: {a: 1, b: :x}
    • label: "a: 1, b: :y", data: {a: 1, b: :y}
    • label: "a: 2, b: :x", data: {a: 2, b: :x}
    • label: "a: 2, b: :y", data: {a: 2, b: :y}

  • Added Test::Unit::TestCase#data that returns the current data.

  • Added support for using test method that doesn’t have no parameters as data driven test.

    Example:

    ruby data("label", :value) def test_data # Available since this release p data # :value end

  • Added support for :keep option to Test::Unit::TestCase.data.

  • Added support for :group option to Test::Unit::TestCase.data. It’s useful to generate multiple data matrix groups.

    ruby # Group1 data(:a, [0, 1, 2], group: :g1) data(:b, [:x, :y], group: :g1) # Group2 data(:a, [:x, :y], group: :g2) data(:c, [-1, -2], group: :g2) def test_data(data) end

    This example generates the following data matrix:

    • label: "group: :g1, a: 0, b: :x", data: {a: 0, b: :x}
    • label: "group: :g1, a: 0, b: :y", data: {a: 0, b: :y}
    • label: "group: :g1, a: 1, b: :x", data: {a: 1, b: :x}
    • label: "group: :g1, a: 1, b: :y", data: {a: 1, b: :y}
    • label: "group: :g1, a: 2, b: :x", data: {a: 2, b: :x}
    • label: "group: :g1, a: 2, b: :y", data: {a: 2, b: :y}
    • label: "group: :g2, a: :x, b: -1", data: {a: :x, b: -1}
    • label: "group: :g2, a: :x, b: -2", data: {a: :x, b: -2}
    • label: "group: :g2, a: :y, b: -1", data: {a: :y, b: -1}
    • label: "group: :g2, a: :y, b: -2", data: {a: :y, b: -2}

    @file = file
    yield
  end

    % ruby -r test-unit -e run_test /tmp/test_a.rb:10
