Before/After Suite when using Ruby MiniTest

Question

Is there an alternative to RSpec\'s before(:suite) and after(:suite) in MiniTest?

I suspect that a custom test runner is in order, however

Answer 1

You can also add an after test callback by updating your test_helper.rb (or spec_helper.rb) like this

# test_helper.rb

class MyTest < Minitest::Unit
  after_tests do
    # ... after test code
  end
end

Answer 2

As noted above in Caley's answer and comments, MiniTest::Unit contains the function after_tests. There is no before_tests or equivalent, but any code in your minitest_helper.rb file should be run before the test suite, so that will do the office of such a function.

Caveat: Still relatively new at Ruby, and very new at Minitest, so if I'm wrong, please correct me! :-)
