# Minitest::Flash
Simple Minitest reporter to indicate the result of test runs in as fancy a way you like. Here's how I like it: Flash the macOS menu bar in green or red and play a short and mutable sound effect.

Thank you for supporting free and open-source software by sponsoring on [GitHub](https://github.com/sponsors/svoop) or on [Donorbox](https://donorbox.com/bitcetera). Any gesture is appreciated, from a single Euro for a ☕️ cup of coffee to 🍹 early retirement.
## Install
This gem is [cryptographically signed](https://guides.rubygems.org/security/#using-gems) in order to assure it hasn't been tampered with. Unless already done, please add the author's public key as a trusted certificate now:
```
gem cert --add <(curl -Ls https://raw.github.com/svoop/minitest-flash/main/certs/svoop.pem)
```
Add the following to the Gemfile or gems.rb of your [Bundler](https://bundler.io) powered Ruby project:
```ruby
gem 'minitest-flash'
```
And then install the bundle:
```
bundle install --trust-policy MediumSecurity
```
Finally, require this gem in your `test_helper.rb` or `spec_helper.rb`:
```ruby
require 'minitest/flash'
```
## Usage
After every test run, the reporter simply invokes the `minitest-flash` executable:
* `minitest-flash green` if the run passed
* `minitest-flash red` if the run failed or has errors
It's your job to create the `minitest-flash` executable to your liking and to place it somewhere in the `PATH`.
Other people might work on the same code and prefer not use `minitest-flash`. This is no problem as it won't do a thing unless a `minitest-flash` executable exists.
## Example
I'm on macOS and like things to be as obvious and unobtrusive as possible: Flash the menu bar either in green or red and optionally play a sound effect.
Here's what my `/usr/local/bin/minitest-flash` executable looks like:
```zsh
#!/bin/zsh
declare -A colors
colors[red]=bb0000
colors[green]=00bb00
if [ -z "$MINITEST_FLASH_NO_SOUND" ]; then
mpg123 $0.d/$1.mp3 2>/dev/null &
fi
for i in {1..2}; do
$0.d/ChangeMenuBarColor SolidColor "$colors[$1]" >/dev/null
$0.d/ChangeMenuBarColor SolidColor "000000" >/dev/null
done
```
As you see, the sound effects can easily be muted with:
```zsh
export MINITEST_FLASH_NO_SOUND=1
```
For the above to work, you have to install `mpg123` easiest through [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
```zsh
brew install mpg123
```
A few support files are also necessary, let's create the directory for them:
```zsh
sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/minitest-flash.d
```
In there you have to put three files:
* the latest binary release of [ChangeMenuBarColor](https://github.com/igorkulman/ChangeMenuBarColor)
* a [sound file `green.mp3`](https://github.com/svoop/minitest-flash/raw/main/doc/green.mp3) for successful runs
* a [sound file `red.mp3`](https://github.com/svoop/minitest-flash/raw/main/doc/red.mp3) for failed or errored runs
## Development
To install the development dependencies and then run the test suite:
```
bundle install
bundle exec rake # run tests once
bundle exec guard # run tests whenever files are modified
```
