Contest
=======

Contexts for Test::Unit.

Description
-----------

Write declarative tests using nested contexts without performance penalties. Contest is less than 100 lines of code and gets the job done.

Usage
-----

Declare your tests as you would in RSpec or Shoulda:

require 'contest'

class SomeTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
setup do
@value = 1
end

teardown do
@value = nil
end

test "sample test" do
assert_equal 1, @value
end

context "a context" do
setup do
@value += 1
end

test "more tests" do
assert_equal 2, @value
end

context "a nested context" do
setup do
@value += 1
end

test "yet more tests" do
assert_equal 3, @value
end
end
end
end

For your convenience, `context` is aliased as `describe` and `test` is aliased as `should`, so this is valid:

class SomeTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
setup do
@value = 1
end

describe "something" do
setup do
@value += 1
end

should "equal 2" do
assert_equal 2, @value
end
end
end

You can run it normally, it's Test::Unit after all. If you want to run a particular test, say "yet more tests", try this:

$ testrb my_test.rb -n test_yet_more_tests

Or with a regular expression:

$ testrb my_test.rb -n /yet_more_tests/

Installation
------------

$ sudo gem install contest

If you want to use it with Rails, add this to config/environment.rb:

config.gem "contest"

Then you can vendor the gem:

rake gems:install
rake gems:unpack
