:bento: Make Rails Use MiniTest::Spec!

Overview:

The minitest-spec-rails gem allows Rails developers to easily use the Minitest::Spec DSL in their existing Rails 2.3, 3.x, or 4.x test suites. By integrating this gem, developers can leverage the benefits of Minitest::Spec within the Rails testing structure, enabling smooth migration for testing suites from Test::Unit to Minitest::Spec.

Features:

  • Gem Version: Easily drop in the gem to start using Minitest::Spec DSL.
  • Compatibility: Supports existing tests written with Test::Unit, ensuring all tests continue to work.
  • Rails Version Support: Compatible with Rails 4.1 up to 6.x active development and specific branches for Rails 3.x and 4.0.
  • No Special Helpers: Does not require special test helpers or generators, providing a seamless integration experience.
  • Freedom Patching Rails: Leverages existing Rails test directories and files for easy migration.
  • Ruby 1.8.7 Compatibility: Fully supports Ruby 1.8.7 with all legacy Test::Unit behavior.
  • Assertion Styles: Provides a cheat sheet for both Minitest::Unit assertions and Minitest::Spec assertion syntax.
