ANN: pry unit testing framework

[Aldo Cortesi]

Thus spake Matthieu Brucher (matthieu.brucher at gmail.com):

> How does it compare to the nose framework ?

As far as the base unit testing functionality is concerned, I think
they try to address similar problems. Both have assert-based testing
with inspection and re-parsing of assert exceptions for better error
messages. Both try to provide better fixture management. Both make
programmatic test generation easier. Both have a command-line tool for
running and gathering tests. 

I like nose, but I'm biased, and of course I think Pry has some
advantages. One difference I'd point out is Pry's tree-based test
structure, which provides a number of conveniences and features (much
nicer test selection from the command line, for instance). Pry is also
less than half the size of nose, and should therefore be simpler to
extend and understand. 

At any rate, feel free to take a look at Pry and see what you think.


Regards,




Aldo
