I'm a fan of MiniTest::Spec. It strikes a nice balance between the simplicity of TestUnit and the readable syntax of RSpec. When I first switched from RSpec to MiniTest::Spec, one thing I was worried I would miss was the ability to add matchers. (A note in terminology: "matchers" in MiniTest::Spec refer to something completely different than "matchers" in RSpec. I won't get into it, but from now on, let's use the proper term: "expectations").

Understanding MiniTest::Expectations

Let's take a look in the code (I'm specifically referring to the gem, not the standard library that's built into Ruby 1.9):

# minitest/spec.rb

module MiniTest::Expectations

Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

	Tiger = require '/lib/tiger'
	Route = require '/lib/tiger.route'


	class BaseView extends Tiger.Window
	close: ->
	direction = Tiger.Route.direction
	left = if direction is 'prev' then '-100%' else '100%'
	@animate {left: left, duration: 400}, @element.close

	#!/usr/bin/env ruby
	#/ Usage: <progname> [options]...
	#/ How does this script make my life easier?
	# ** Tip: use #/ lines to define the --help usage message.
	$stderr.sync = true
	require 'optparse'

	# default options
	flag = false
	option = "default value"

	var serviceList = [];
	var xhr;

	var tmpSvc = fetchServicesByProfile(Titanium.UI.currentWindow.profileid);
	for(i=0;i<tmpSvc.length;i++)
	{
	//Populate serviceList array.
	}

	function processServiceList(index)

	set encoding=utf-8
