How to include unit tests in a ruby module?

Question

I\'m trying to include the unit tests for a module in the same source file as the module itself, following the Perl modulino model.

#! /usr/bin/env ruby

req         


        

Answer 1

Just found one way to prevent the unit test from being executed when the module is required from a script. There is a flag in unit.rb in .../lib/ruby/1.8/test/ to set to true.

Combined with samg trick (thanks again), we can write:

if (__FILE__ != $0)
    Test::Unit.run = true  ### do not run the unit tests
end
