Create minitest generator component

[nesquena]

We should add a minitest test generator choice, i.e padrino g project demo -t minitest which requires the gem unless its 1.9. If you guys agree lets get this in for 0.10.3 or 0.10.4

@achiu I suggest to target it to the 10.3, you agree? Sinatra 1.3 will be released soon, are u ready?

[achiurizo]

ready!

@DAddYE @achiu Pushed a minitest component here: https://github.com/padrino/padrino-framework/tree/minitest_component. Can you guys review and test that branch so we can merge it back in?

[achiurizo]

@nesquena thanks for the minitest component. I was wondering though about whether it should default use minitest spec or test/unit style. perhaps an option? what do you guys think?

[nesquena]

Yeah I mean there's no easy way to make it an option. It would have to be two separate component choices. Not sure if I want minitest_unit and minitest_spec components. I just went with autorun+spec which is what I think the common case is. Thoughts?

[DAddYE]

I think we can make a default like this:

describe 'foo bar' do
  it 'should do some thing' do
    assert Foo.is_true?
  end
end

So DSL + Asseritions. Bad idea?

[nesquena]

Oh so keep describe/it but switch from .must_equal to assert_equal? I'm ok with that. Kind of a middle ground approach?

[DAddYE]

I think describe / it can be great for 99% of us, but I also think that now assert is much common than must or should. Btw switch from them is quite simple but assert in my mind is more standard.

Im right with both, sometimes I use assert sometimes must I don't really have a preference.

[nesquena]

OK, I agree that describe/it is better in almost all cases. I also don't have a strong preference for assert over must, with a slight edge to assert just because as you said it is more common. @achiu Right now I used must assertion types, can you review the branch and tweak it to use assert instead in the model and controller minitest generators? Or alternatively curious to hear what you think the right "default" is here.

[achiurizo]

switch to use assert/refute assertions instead and merged back to master. closing ticket.

[nesquena]

Awesome, glad to have this closed. Thanks @achiu.
