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

revans

# requires root permissions in /usr/bin/

star = String.new
8.times { star += "*" }
Star = "\n#{star * 3}\n"

def newblock string
    puts "\n#{Star}#{string}#{Star}\n"
end

revans

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#gem_cmd = ENV["GEM_CMD"] || 'sudo gem'
gem_cmd = 'gem'

STDIN.map { |l| l.strip }.each { |l| 
  gem, versions = l.split(' ', 2)
  versions = versions.gsub(/[\(\)]/, '').split(', ')
  
  versions.each { |version|
    cmd = "#{gem_cmd} install #{gem} -v #{version} --no-ri --no-rdoc"

# Set cache dir
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx levels=1:2 
                 keys_zone=microcache:5m max_size=1000m;

# Virtualhost/server configuration
server {
    listen   80;
    server_name  yourhost.domain.com;

    # Define cached location (may not be whole site)
