• Project Page: http://rubyforge.org/projects/assertions/

== DESCRIPTION: This package adds some additional assertions to Test::Unit::Assertions, including:

• Assertions for all of the comparison operators (Test::Unit::Assertions#assert_greater_than, Test::Unit::Assertions#assert_less_than_or_equal_to, etc.). Shorter aliases also are provided for these (Test::Unit::Assertions#assert_gt, Test::Unit::Assertions#assert_le, etc.).
• An assertion that verifies that a given block raises a specified exception with a specified message (Test::Unit::Assertions#assert_raise_message). This allows full testing of error messages.
• An assertion that verifies that a given block contains an assertion that fails (Test::Unit::Assertions#assert_fail), which can be used to test new assertions.
• An assertion that verifies that a given value is false or nil (Test::Unit::Assertions#assert_not)

== PROBLEMS: None (known).

== SYNOPSIS: ======examples/example.rb: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'rubygems' require 'assertions'

require 'test/unit'

class Tests < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_assertions # # Verify that 4 > 5 is false. # assert_not(4 > 5)

 #
 # Verify that 4 < 5
 #
 assert_less_than(4, 5)
 
 #
 # Verify that 4 < 5 again, but this time with the
 # shorter alias.
 #
 assert_lt(4, 5)
 
 #
 # Verify that 5 >= 5
 #
 assert_ge(5, 5)
 
 #
 # Verify that the specified exception is raised.
 #
 assert_raise_message("Hello, exception!", RuntimeError) do
   raise "Hello, exception!"
 end
 
 #
 # Verify that an assertion failed.
 #
 assert_fail do
   assert_equal(5, 4)
 end

end end
