Ruby's
MiniTest
is a minimal testing framework that you can easily drop-in to any Ruby
project. For those used to using RSpec with it's fancy
red/green output, MiniTest can be a little disappointing. It prints boring,
uncolored text to the screen that lacks visual feedback. Fortunately, red
and green coloring can be added with
minitest/reporters.
Update your Gemfile:
gem 'minitest-reporters'Then require and configure minitest-reporters in your testing setup file
(e.g. test/test_helper.rb):
require 'minitest/reporters'
Minitest::Reporters.use! [Minitest::Reporters::DefaultReporter.new(:color => true)]You can now enjoy that Red, Green, Refactor cycle.
