Minitest + all the features you always wanted.

• Ctrl+c stops tests and prints failures
• pastable rerun snippet for failures
• multiple before & after blocks
• around blocks around { |t| Dir.chdir(...) { t.call } }
• red-green output
• mtest executable to run by line number and by folder
• full backtrace for errors and assertions with verbose (-v)
• before :all + after :all with require 'maxitest/before_and_after_all'
• let!
• order_dependent! to make your tests run in given order
• context for more expression
• pending { assert false } is skip when it fails, but fails when it passes
• implicit subject via require 'maxitest/implicit_subject'
• xit to skip test (also does not call setup or teardown)

gem install maxitest

require "maxitest/autorun"

... normal tests ...

• everything vendored into 1 gem to avoid dependency madness
• tested via rspec to avoid messing up our own tests by accident
• fixes should go back to the original libraries
• restrictive minitest dependency so nothing breaks by accident
• ruby 1.9+
• rake update to update all vendored gems

• make ctrl+c fix its own gem
• before :all / after :all / around :all
• minitest 4 version for those stuck on rails 3

• running by line number from minitest-line
• around from minitest-around
• mtest from testrbl
• red-green from minitest-rg
