Basic Usage ↑

Installation ↑

$ gem install cmd_line_test

Example ↑

requrie 'cmd_line_test'

class CliTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
  run_command_line_as {MyCommandLineApp.run}

  run_with_argv "--help" do
    assert_successful_run
    assert_out_contains /Usage:/
  end
end

Only tested on the 1.8.7 Ruby implementation and with Shoulda 2.10.1
