FlexMock no longer works with Minitest
Running flexmock 1.3.2 & Minitest 5.0.6
require 'minitest/autorun'
require 'flexmock/unit_test'
class TestFlexMock < Minitest::Test
def test_this
flexmock()
end
end
results in
TestFlexMock#test_this:
NoMethodError: undefined method `flexmock' for #<TestFlexMock:0x00000101253c60>
blah.rb:8:in `test_this'
This seems to be a Minitest 4 VS 5 thing. MT4 still ships with Ruby 2, so I have to support that, but MT5 is often installed as a gem. I'm going to have to figure out how to test against both in an automated way.
Sigh :{
Yeah, chasing MiniTest API changes is difficult. Sadly, they have an under developed mocking framework.
Under Ruby 1.9.3 I work with a pattern like this:
gem "minitest" require 'minitest/autorun' require 'flexmock' class TestFlexMock < Minitest::Test include FlexMock::TestCase def test_this flexmock() end end
A word: I'm trying to take over the maintenance of flexmock. It's unfortunately bit-rotting since Jim's passing, and that's really a pity - both for his memory as a great contributor to Ruby's community and as a really nice piece of software.
I've fixed that particular issue, as well as added minitest-specific support and some other things there: https://github.com/doudou/flexmock. I'm going to try and get the rights to push new gems versions, but I really don't know if it's going to happen.
