minitest-reporters - create customizable MiniTest output formats

Death to haphazard monkey-patching! Extend MiniTest through simple hooks.

Installation

gem install minitest-reporters

Usage

In your test_helper.rb file, add the following lines:

require "minitest/reporters"
MiniTest::Reporters.use!

This will swap out the MiniTest runner to the custom one used by minitest-reporters and use the correct reporters for Textmate, Rubymine, and the console. If you would like to write your own reporter, just include MiniTest::Reporter and override the methods you'd like. Take a look at the provided reporters for examples.

Don't like the default progress bar reporter?

MiniTest::Reporters.use! MiniTest::Reporters::SpecReporter.new

Want to use multiple reporters?

MiniTest::Reporters.use! [MiniTest::Reporters::SpecReporter.new, MiniTest::Reporters::GuardReporter.new]

The following reporters are provided:

MiniTest::Reporters::DefaultReporter  # => Redgreen version of standard MiniTest reporter
MiniTest::Reporters::SpecReporter     # => Turn-like output that reads like a spec
MiniTest::Reporters::ProgressReporter # => Fuubar-like output with a progress bar
MiniTest::Reporters::RubyMateReporter # => Simple reporter designed for RubyMate
MiniTest::Reporters::RubyMineReporter # => Reporter designed for RubyMine IDE and TeamCity CI server
MiniTest::Reporters::GuardReporter    # => Integrates with guard-minitest to provide on-screen notifications
MiniTest::Reporters::JUnitReporter    # => JUnit test reporter designed for JetBrains TeamCity

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, but do not mess with the Rakefile. If you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump the version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore it when I pull.
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for git flow feature branches.
