# MiniUnit

xUnit style test cases, suites, and runner for Node's assert module. Inspired by

Ruby's MiniTest::Unit.

MiniUnit is only intended to help you structure your tests, it is expected

you'll be using it with the [Node.js assert module][assert] for assertions.

[assert]: http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/assert.html

## Usage

    // require MiniUnit and Node's assert module

    var MiniUnit = require("mini-unit");

    var assert = require("assert");

    

    // require the module under test

    var MyModule = require("./../lib/my-module");

    

    // create and name a test case

    var tc = new MiniUnit.TestCase("MyModule");

    

    // run before each test

    tc.setup = function () {

        this.adder = new MyModule.adder();

    };

    

    // run after each test

    tc.teardown = function () {

        this.adder.reset();

    };

    

    // test methods must be named 'test' followed by at least one character.

    tc.testAddition = function () {

        var a = 2,

            b = 2,

            result,

        

        result = this.adder.add(a, b)

        

        assert.equal(result, 4);

    };

    

    // if the file being run is the current file, then run the tests, otherwise

    // export the test case

    if (require.main === module) {

        MiniUnit.run(tc);

    } else {

        module.exports = tc;

    }

### Running a suite of test cases

    var MiniUnit = require("mini-unit");

    var testCases = [

        "./foo",

        "./bar"

    ].map(function (path) {

        return require(path);

    });

    

    MiniUnit.runSuit(testCases);
