Minitest

Since Ruby 1.9, Minitest is shipped with the standard library. If you want to use it on 1.8, it is still installable via Rubygems.

After installing Minitest, setting it up works similar to Test::Unit:

If you have multiple test files, you could create a test helper file and do all the setup in there:

# test_helper.rb
ENV['RACK_ENV'] = 'test'
require 'minitest/autorun'
require 'rack/test'

begin
  require_relative 'my-app'
rescue NameError 
  require File.expand_path('my-app', __FILE__)
end

In your test files you only have to require that helper:

# test.rb
begin 
  require_relative 'test_helper'
rescue NameError
  require File.expand_path('test_helper', __FILE__)
end

class MyTest < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase
  
  include Rack::Test::Methods

  def app() Sinatra::Application end

  def test_hello_world
    get '/'
    assert last_response.ok?
    assert_equal "Hello, World!", last_response.body
  end
end

If your app was defined using the modular style, use

def app
    MyApp # <- your application class name
end

instead of

def app() Sinatra::Application end

Specs and Benchmarks with Minitest

Specs

begin 
  require_relative 'test_helper'
rescue NameError
  require File.expand_path('test_helper', __FILE__)
end

include Rack::Test::Methods

def app() Sinatra::Application end

describe "my example app" do
  it "should successfully return a greeting" do
    get '/' 
    assert_equal 'Welcome to my page!', last_response.body 
  end
end

Benchmarks

begin 
  require_relative 'test_helper'
rescue NameError
  require File.expand_path('test_helper', __FILE__)
end

require 'minitest/benchmark'

include Rack::Test::Methods
def app() Sinatra::Application end

describe "my example app" do
  bench_range { bench_exp 1, 10_000 } 
  bench_performance_linear "welcome message", 0.9999 do |n|
    n.times do
      get '/'
      assert_equal 'Welcome to my page!', last_response.body 
    end 
  end
end

Rake

When you're ready to start using MiniTest as an automated testing framework, you'll need to setup a Rake TestTask. Here's one we'll use to run our MiniTest::Specs:

require 'rake/testtask'
Rake::TestTask.new do |t|
  t.pattern = "spec/*_spec.rb" 
end

Now run your MiniSpecs with rake test.
