Death to haphazard monkey-patching! Extend MiniTest through simple hooks.

I no longer use minitest-reporters, and would like to pass on the project to someone else who will be able to dedicate more time to it. Contact me via email or Twitter if you're interested in maintaining this project.

gem install minitest-reporters

In your test_helper.rb file, add the following lines:

require "minitest/reporters"
MiniTest::Reporters.use!

This will swap out the MiniTest runner to the custom one used by minitest-reporters and use the correct reporters for Textmate, Rubymine, and the console. If you would like to write your own reporter, just include MiniTest::Reporter and override the methods you'd like. Take a look at the provided reporters for examples.

Don't like the default progress bar reporter?

MiniTest::Reporters.use! MiniTest::Reporters::SpecReporter.new

Want to use multiple reporters?

MiniTest::Reporters.use! [MiniTest::Reporters::SpecReporter.new, MiniTest::Reporters::GuardReporter.new]

The following reporters are provided:

MiniTest::Reporters::DefaultReporter  # => Redgreen-capable version of standard MiniTest reporter
MiniTest::Reporters::SpecReporter     # => Turn-like output that reads like a spec
MiniTest::Reporters::ProgressReporter # => Fuubar-like output with a progress bar
MiniTest::Reporters::RubyMateReporter # => Simple reporter designed for RubyMate
MiniTest::Reporters::RubyMineReporter # => Reporter designed for RubyMine IDE and TeamCity CI server
MiniTest::Reporters::GuardReporter    # => Integrates with guard-minitest to provide on-screen notifications
MiniTest::Reporters::JUnitReporter    # => JUnit test reporter designed for JetBrains TeamCity

Options can be passed to these reporters at construction-time, e.g. to force color output from DefaultReporter:

MiniTest::Reporters.use! [MiniTest::Reporters::SpecReporter.new(:color => true)]

If you are using minitest-reporters with ActiveSupport 3.x, make sure that you require ActiveSupport before invoking MiniTest::Reporters.use!. Minitest-reporters fixes incompatibilities caused by monkey patches in ActiveSupport 3.x. ActiveSupport 4.x is unaffected.

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, but do not mess with the Rakefile. If you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump the version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore it when I pull.
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for git flow feature branches.
