h2. Description

test-unit 2 - Improved version of Test::Unit bundled in Ruby 1.8.x.

Ruby 1.9.x bundles minitest not Test::Unit. Test::Unit bundled in Ruby 1.8.x had not been improved but unbundled Test::Unit (test-unit 2) will be improved actively.

h2. Features

  • Test::Unit 1.2.3 is the original Test::Unit, taken straight from the ruby distribution. It is being distributed as a gem to allow tool builders to use it as a stand-alone package. (The test framework in ruby is going to radically change very soon).
  • test-unit 2 will be improved actively and may break compatiblity with Test::Unit 1.2.3. (We will not hope it if it isn‘t needed.)
  • Some features exist as separated gems like GUI test runner. (Tk, GTK+ and Fox) test-unit-full gem package provides for installing all Test::Unit related gems easily.

h2. Install

<pre> % sudo gem install test-unit </pre>

If you want to use full Test::Unit features:

<pre> % sudo gem install test-unit-full </pre>
