DESCRIPTION:

tending allows you to add pending tests to your Test::Unit test cases

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• tending allows adding pending tests to Test::Unit test cases
• tending can report on pending tests in files given a file pattern

SYNOPSIS:

While writing your test cases, use tending to add place holders for tests you haven‘t yet written using the pending method. For example:

  require 'test/unit'
  require 'rubygems'
  require 'tending'

  class TestFoo < Test::Unit::TestCase
    def test_truth
      assert true
    end

    pending 'test false scenario'
    pending 'test edge cases'
  end

After adding pending tests to your test files, you can use the tending command line tool to generate a report of pending tests. This command accepts any file patterns that Dir.glob accepts. For example, if I wanted a report of all pending tests within the test directory of my project and my current working directory was the project root, I would execute the following:

  tending 'test/*'

This will generate a detailed report, by file, of all pending tests.

REQUIREMENTS:

• need 1.0.2
