Contest
=======

Contexts for Test::Unit.

Description
-----------

Write declarative tests with nested contexts without performance
penalties. Contest is less than 40 lines and gets the job done.

Usage
-----

Declare your tests as you would in RSpec or Shoulda. The keywords here
are `setup`, `context` and `test`, :

    require 'contest'

    class SomeTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
      setup do
        @value = 1
      end

      test "sample test" do
        assert_equal 1, @value
      end

      context "a context" do
        setup do
          @value += 1
        end

        test "more tests" do
          assert_equal 2, @value
        end

        context "a nested context" do
          setup do
            @value += 1
          end

          test "yet more tests" do
            assert_equal 3, @value
          end
        end
      end
    end

For your convenience, `context` is aliased as `describe` and `test` is aliased as `should`, so this is valid:

    class SomeTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
      setup do
        @value = 1
      end

      describe "something" do
        setup do
          @value += 1
        end

        should "equal 2" do
          assert_equal 2, @value
        end
      end
    end

You can run it normaly, it's Test::Unit after all. If you want to run a particular test, say "yet more tests", try this:

    $ testrb my_test.rb -n test_yet_more_tests

Or with a regular expression:

    $ testrb my_test.rb -n /yet_more_tests/

Installation
------------

    $ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com (you only have to do this once)
    $ sudo gem install citrusbyte-contest
