Shoulda helps you write more understandable, maintainable Rails-specific tests under Minitest and Test::Unit.
📢 See what's changed in recent versions.
As an umbrella gem, the shoulda gem doesn't contain any code of its own but
rather brings in behavior from two other gems:
For instance:
require "test_helper"
class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
context "associations" do
should have_many(:posts)
end
context "validations" do
should validate_presence_of(:email)
should allow_value("[email protected]").for(:email)
should_not allow_value("not-an-email").for(:email)
end
context "#name" do
should "consist of first and last name" do
user = User.new(first_name: "John", last_name: "Smith")
assert_equal "John Smith", user.name
end
end
endHere, the context and should methods come from Shoulda Context; matchers
(e.g. have_many, allow_value) come from Shoulda Matchers.
See the READMEs for these projects for more information.
