Feedback on Hanami Minitest

Hi everyone — I’m pleased to share that our initial Minitest support is now merged into the gem’s main branch. I’ve implemented the block-based test/setup/teardown API, as you suggested above (with some tweaks to make it fit better with setup and teardown methods in superclasses). I decided to host the base classes inside the gem. They exist as Hanami::Minitest::{Test,RequestTest,FeatureTest}. I’ve also take the opportunity to use this as a first foray into internalising some of the test setup...

@timriley If you need any help integrating with Mocha, let me know - I’d be happy to help

@floehopper Thank you! 😊 Is Mocha a pretty standard part of a Minitest user's toolkit? Maybe we should include it out of the box?

@timriley I’m not sure that’s true - Minitest used to come with a simple mock implementation although it looks like it’s been split out in into minitest-mock now.

@floehopper @timriley Mocha has a much nicer API in my experience. Minitest mock had always felt like a mocking framework designed to discourage mocking. Which, to be fair, might be true.

@timriley @floehopper @eightbitraptor it was. Not mocking is better than mocking for 80-90% of all tests.

Interesting!

I'm not going to bite! 😃

@floehopper @zenspider @timriley "we designed this screwdriver to be hard to use because not using screws is better than using screws 80-90% of the time"

@eightbitraptor @floehopper @timriley Your analogy only works because you're supposed to be welding, not screwing.
