There is an inconsistency between the conditional logic in
the definition of ActiveSupport::TestCase and the conditional logic in
ActiveSupport::Testing::SetupAndTeardown [1].
In some circumstances, it's possible for MiniTest to be defined, but
for ActiveSupport::TestCase not to have MiniTest::Unit::TestCase or
MiniTest::Assertions in its ancestor chain. e.g. in Ruby 1.8 with the
minitest gem included in the bundle. In this case, the
Test::Unit/MiniTest shim/wrapper is not present and so
Test::Unit::TestCase (and therefore ActiveSupport::TestCase) is
completely independent of MiniTest::Unit::TestCase.
The conditional logic in the definition of ActiveSupport::TestCase does
not take this scenario into account, whereas the logic in
ActiveSupport::Testing::SetupAndTeardown does take it into account.
The changes in this commit are an alternative to the change in [2] which
was reverted in [3].
Similar conditional logic exists in ActiveSupport::Testing::Isolation
[4], ActiveSupport::Testing::Pending [5],
ActiveSupport::Testing::Performance [6], and in their respective tests.
I have not addressed these, because I know less about what's going on
there, but it would be worth bringing them all into line too.
