Attitude Adjustment

[voltechs]

Ruby's built-in test framework has changed so frequently (and rather poorly) over the last few years that it has been a relative nightmare to try keep Turn working. From the deprecation of Test::Unit and the switch to MiniTest and thru all the many API changes made to MiniTest itself (we're at major version 5 now!), it is simply not conducive to a coder's productivity to have to rewrite a program every year while explaining to gracious bug reporters that it's broken because the underlying API has changed yet again.

The most recent major change finally added something of a real reporter API. That's a good thing! Although it should have been there from day one. Yet the new version also removed the runner API. That means Turn would have revert back to old subclassing and monkey patching tricks in order support certain features such as the solo and cross runners.

As any programmer can well understand, I have no interest in playing these musical chairs any longer. I have endeavored to provide preliminary support for Minitest v5+, which is now in the master branch. For the most part, the reporter part, it is working. But there are plenty of loose ends that have to be tied up if everything is to work as it should.

If someone else would like to take up the mantle of this project please have at it. I'm available to answer any questions. Until then, consider this entire project deprecated.

You sound really bitter and entitled, and this kind of rhetoric is toxic to the community. Nobody is forcing you to contribute to the community and many many people appreciate the contributions you have and do make. I suggest giving https://semver.org a read, to better understand what a major version rev entails.

Thank you for your past efforts on this project, and I wish you the best of success in your future endeavors.

Progress is change.
