unit/test : I don't want to automatically run all tests

[Raphael Bauduin]

Hi,

I'm writing some unit tests and the plan is to let them run each night, and producing a little
web page summarizing the results.

I've written my tests, put them in a suite, and want to run them, but collect the results
to build the web page afterwards. I use this code:

result = Test::Unit::TestResult.new()
MyTestClass.suite.run(result) {|s, name| puts "Status=#{s} and name = #{name}"}

This runs absolutely fin, but test/unit then automatically starts to run all tests define in the file.
This is a feature of test/unit (as noted at http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/test/unit/rdoc/index.html and
at http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?UsingTestUnit), but I really don't need it here. Can I turn this behaviour off?

Thanks.

When you terminate your test runner with exit!, test/unit will not have
a chance to run tests on its own.

yep, that's what I've found as solution, but I thought there was a better way

Look at the (source of ) TestTask in rake (http://rake.rubyforge.org), that provides a
means of running a named test rather than the lot.

If you define test sets in different files, yet another way is
controlling what tests are defined via selective requires.

Adding this should do it:

Test::Unit.run = true

That's what the built-in runners do.
