A comprehensive Minitest reporter.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'minitest-bender'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install minitest-bender
Require this plugin right after Minitest, and then enable it explicitly:
require 'minitest/autorun'
require 'minitest/bender'
Minitest::Bender.enable!
That's it! The next time you run your tests, a new report format will be used instead of the default one.
Instead of calling the enable!
method, you can also specify the --bender
test option, e.g.
$ rake test TESTOPTS="--bender"
In both of these cases, Bender is activated with its default configuration. You can refer to bender_plugin.rb or configuration.rb to explore the multitude of options available to customize the output.
As an example, let's say your test suite takes several minutes to run, so you want to see detailed output in realtime. This behaviour is provided by a particular recorder called "progress_verbose", which is not the default one. In order to select this recorder for your app/gem, you can activate Bender like this instead:
Minitest::Bender.enable!({ recorder: :progress_verbose })
You can also set configuration options via environment variables:
$ BENDER_RECORDER=progress_verbose rake test
Finally, command-line options also work:
$ rake test TESTOPTS="--bender-recorder=progress_verbose"
Bear in mind that setting a configuration option does not automatically enable the reporter, so remember to either call the enable!
method, or to include the --bender
argument.
If you use minitest-reporters and have it installed and activated, you can select the BenderReporter
as (one of the) reporters:
$ MINITEST_REPORTER=BenderReporter,HtmlReporter rake test
Originally based on minitest-colorin, the minitest-bender reporter offers you, out of the box, colored output including:
- A progress bar, mostly useful for long-running suites, as the default of many different recorders
- Status, running time, name and message for each test/expectation, grouped by class/context and sorted by name
- Details of skips, failures and errors, with diffs, backtraces and commands to rerun each single test
- Details of the slowest tests, if they may be relevant
- The same basic statistics of the default reporter
If the NO_COLOR environment variable is set, Bender will output non-colored text honoring this standard, thanks to the paint gem dependency.
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. You can run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
.
