"Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora." --William of Ockham
"It is futile to do with more things that which can be done with fewer."
Extremely minimal test framework. Perfect for DIY lovers. Nanotest provides the bare minimum needed; for everything else, there's ruby.
gem install nanotest
require 'nanotest'
include Nanotest
assert { 1 == 1 }
assert { 2 > 1 }
assert { not 1 > 2 }
assert { 1 == 2 } #line 12
outputs:
...F
(examples.rb:012) assertion failed

Nanotest has a single method: #assert. You can either include Nanotest as
above, or use its method directly: Nanotest.assert { true }. Its block is
expected to return a boolean. If it's false it fails, otherwise it passes.
Simple as that.
#assert also accepts a custom failure message:
assert("foo is too small") { @foo > 5 } #line 36
#=> (examples.rb:036) foo is too small
That's pretty much it. Maximum Simplicity. If you insist on doing something fancy, check out the wiki for a few tips and tricks.
