Add option to silence the output to console while test run

[pinpox]

Im using this quite a lot:

  def silence_output
    # Store the original stderr and stdout in order to restore them later
    @original_stderr = $stderr
    @original_stdout = $stdout

    # Redirect stderr and stdout
    $stderr = File.new("out.txt", 'w')
    $stdout = File.new("out.txt", 'w')
  end

  # Replace stderr and stdout so anything else is output correctly
  def enable_output
    $stderr = @original_stderr
    $stdout = @original_stdout
    @original_stderr = nil
    @original_stdout = nil
  end

  def teardown
    enable_output
  end

  def setup
    silence_output
  end

It would be nice to have an option that does the same thing without having to add those methods.

This doesn't need to be a part of minitest. Instead, it can be packaged as a plugin gem. I'm happy to help you get this packaged up into gem form.

Also, it should use the before/after_setup/teardown hooks.

Please close this if you think it has been resolved.
