or

2009-06-24 Verify
-----------------
* Heavy refactoring, the code sucks much less now.

No I did not do this on purpose

and the lack of a description? was that on purpose too?

From here I found:

The Labrador package is to programming what the Labrador bread is to
dogs, for me. I like it. Very compact enum method API, Ivar Free
Ruby by means of closure based properties and who knows what will
come...

nom nom Labrador bread nom

and yet, still no idea what this software is, besides tasty.

This is only a maintenance release I did not want to advertise my tiny
package too much.
I just have no time to update my Rubyforge project homepage, but there
is a short description http://labrador.rubyforge.org/
Here is the README

This is the very simple Verify mini test framework

It emphasises on being able to check things out quickly without having
to load a heavy test
framework.
It evolves around my needs but for the time being it is pretty lightweight.


require 'verify'

Verify "Some Important Facts" do
verify "42 is true" do
42
end
refute "42 is pretty big" do
42 > 100_000
end
verify_exceptions NoMethodError do
42.unrelinguished!
end
end

These forms are very easy to remember, but sometimes one needs to see where=
the
errors, are, in order to achieve that one can use the parameter form

Verify "With parameters" do
verify msg: "Everything is well", target: 42, actual: 21 * 2
refute msg: "But not too much", target: 42, actual: 41
end

Mockify allows to capture stdout or simulate stdin, all you need to do is t=
o
require 'mockify' *before* requiring 'verify' and than you can provide stdi=
n
and get stdout

Verify "Providing stdin" do
with_input %w{The Quick Brown Fox} do
verify %{first line is "The"} do
"The" =3D=3D gets.chomp
end
end
end

Verify "Capturing stdout" do
out =3D with_output do | o |
puts 42
verify target: "42\n", actual: o.string
end
end
verify msg: "with_output converted out to an array of lines",
actual: out.map( &:chomp ),
target: %w{ 42 }
end

Enjoy
