[MacRuby-devel] MiniTest and TestUnit implementations

[Mark Rada]

Hi,

Minitest doesn't have a really clean way of doing what you want, but it does have a simple way. If you look at minitest/pride:

	https://github.com/seattlerb/minitest/blob/master/lib/minitest/pride.rb

It implements an alternative output format for minitest that you could copy and then change so it counts the number of tests.

Test::Unit in Ruby 1.9 is just a compatibility layer to minitest, so they are really the same thing for what you are asking about.

FWIW, rspec has proper custom formatters that support exactly what you have asked about.

HTH,

Mark Rada
