 = TURN -- Test::Unit Reporter (New)

 TURN is a new way to view Test::Unit results. With longer running tests, it
 can be very frustrating to see a failure (....F...) and then have to wait till
 all the tests finish before you can see what the exact failure was. TURN
 displays each test on a separate line with failures being displayed
 immediately instead of at the end of the tests.

 If you have the 'facets' gem installed, then TURN output will be displayed in
 wonderful technicolor (but only if your terminal supports ANSI color codes).
 Well, the only colors are green and red, but that is still color.

 == Usage

 === Command Line

 You can use the *turn* executable in place of the *ruby* interpreter.

    turn -Ilib test/test_all.rb

 This will invoke the ruby interpreter and automatically require the turn
 formatting library. All command line arguments are passed "as is" to the
 ruby interpreter.

 === Require

 Simply require the TURN package from within your test suite.

    require 'turn'

 This will configure Test::Unit to use TURN formatting for displaying test
 restuls. A better line to use, though, is the following:

    begin; require 'turn'; rescue LoadError; end

 When you distribute your code, the test suite can be run without requiring
 the end user to install the TURN package.

 For a Rails application, put the require line into the 'test/test_helper.rb'
 scipt. Now your Rails tests will use TURN formatting.
