Asp Forum - run only one test case?

Rubies:

Here's where I run my Ruby/Unit suite:

aTestSuite = Test::Unit::TestSuite.new("MRW")
aTestSuite << a bunch of suites
got = runner.run(aTestSuite)

Now how to augment that so we fetch ARGV[], and if there's a test case by
name, only run that one case?

Is this what you mean?

#! /usr/bin/ruby

def exec(s)
puts "Exec #{s}"
end

if ARGV.size > 0
exec(ARGV.first)
else
exec("something else")
end

No, and I don't see any connection between it and my question.

Sorry - one connection: ARGV.shift. I know _that_!!

Combine that with
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run(TS_MyTests)
From
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/test/unit/rdoc/classes/Test...
And I think you can do what you want.

The above code runs all test cases. I want to run only one of them.

Suppose one of them is called test_readMyPost. Can I run it like this?

got = runner.run(aTestSuite, 'test_readMyPost')

Alternately, could I loop thru aTestSuite's cases, find it, and run it?

(I'm not asking how to run test suites, or how to parse command line
arguments here!)

Here's your question:

My reply shows how to fetch ARGV, and if there's a test case specified, use
that instead of a predefined name.

Maybe you should express yourself more clearly.

Your code:

#! /usr/bin/ruby

def exec(s)
puts "Exec #{s}"
end

if ARGV.size > 0
exec(ARGV.first)
else
exec("something else")
end

I don't see it applying s to the test cases. It just prints out the name,
and I can't believe you actually think this answers my question. Maybe you
need to read more carefully.

if ARGV[0]
system("ruby tc_#{ARGV[0]}.rb")
end

Rubies:

Here's a normal example of running a Ruby/Unit suite:

aTestSuite = Test::Unit::TestSuite.new("MRW")
aTestSuite << a bunch of suites
got = runner.run(aTestSuite)

The above code runs all test cases. I want to run only one of them.

A "test suite" is (generally) a list of test cases. Here, it is a list of
lists of test cases. Running only one *.rb file would run all cases in that
file's suites. I want to run only one test case. Here are three test cases:

class SomeSuite < Test::Unit::TestCase

def test_runThisCase()
#...
end

def test_dontRunThis()
#...
end

def test_orThis()
#...
end

end

Running SomeSuite is trivial.

Now how to augment that so if a caller has supplied one case name (perhaps
via command line arguments and ARGV[]), and then only run that one case?

Suppose I only want to run test_runThisCase. If I had invented Ruby/Unit, we
could run it like this:

got = runner.run(aTestSuite, 'test_readMyPost')

Unfortunately, the test.rb files (like many Ruby library files) are
write-only, and I generally can't read them well enough to understand how to
apply that syntax. Is such a feature available through these objects?

Alternately, could I loop thru aTestSuite's cases, find it, and run it?

(I'm not asking how to run test suites, or how to parse command line
arguments here!)
