InlineSpec

Test your one offs like a good boy should.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'inline_spec'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install inline_spec

Usage

Writing one off tests or quick scripts should not be exempt from tests, nor should you rely on ad-hoc testing strategies centered around Pry and lots of copying and pasting. This little gem provides an easy way to run one off tests of console or dataop scripts. Prove your work people.

class A
  def tru_dat?
    true
  end
end

class ATest < InlineSpec
  examples do
    describe A do
      its(:tru_dat) { should be_true }
    end
  end
end

Put all of these things in one file (or whatever). Load them into the console. Run ATest.test. Be amazed. If you need to run the tests in the context of another application, it's simple. Get into the test console for that application. Load the file. ATest.test The tests are not reloaded or cleared after each run, so you can hack away at the class in the console until your tests pass. If you need to clear the tests call Atest.reset and reload the test file.

And if you want to be a real bad ass - just code and test all in one file by putting the ATest.test line last in your file.
