assert_difference
=================

A nice assert_difference method similar to the one provided by Rails but with
some improvements. For example:

    assert_difference "Company.count" => +1, "User.count" => +5, "Slot.count" => -1 do
      post :something
    end

will assert that a company and 5 users were create (the plus sign is only for
the visual aid) and a slot was removed.

[Rails' assert_difference](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Testing/Assertions.html#method-i-assert_difference)
would require a more verbose syntax:

    assert_difference "Company.count" do
      assert_difference "User.count", +5 do
        assert_difference "Article.count", -1 do
          post :something
        end
      end
    end

To use it with Test::Unit add this code:

    class Test::Unit::TestCase
      include AssertDifference
    end

or in Rails:

    class ActiveSupport::TestCase
      # ...
      include AssertDifference
    end

and to use it with RSpec:

    RSpec.configure do |config|
      config.include AssertDifference
    end

Note on Patches/Pull Requests
-----------------------------

* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
  future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
