Minitest::Silence

Minitest plugin to suppress output from tests. This plugin will buffer any output coming from a test going to STDOUT or STDERR, to make sure it doesn't interfere with the output of the test runner itself. By default, it will discard any output, unless the --verbose option is set. It also supports failing a test if it is writing anything to STDOUT or STDERR by setting the --fail-on-output command line option.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile, and run bundle install:

gem 'minitest-silence', require: false

Usage

The plugin will be automatically activated by Minitest if it is in your application's bundle.

  • By default, it will simply discard any output writting to STDOUT or STDERR by your tests.
  • When specifying --verbose, the output will be buffered and written to the STDOUT inside a box that makes clear what test the output originated from.
  • When running with the --fail-on-output option, a test will fail if it writes anything to either STDOUT or STDERR.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bin/rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bin/rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
