===================================================
The shoulda gem is a meta gem with two dependencies:
* [shoulda-context](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-context)
* [shoulda-matchers](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers)
Official documentation for each gem:
* [shoulda-context](http://rubydoc.info/github/thoughtbot/shoulda-context/master/frames)
* [shoulda-matchers](http://rubydoc.info/github/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers/master/frames)
The following describes different use cases and combinations.
rspec with shoulda-matchers
---------------------------
This is what thoughtbot currently does. We write tests like:
describe Post do
it { should belong_to(:user) }
it { should validate_presence_of(:title) }
end
The belong_to and validate_presence_of methods are the matchers.
All matchers are Rails 3-specific.
Add rspec-rails and shoulda-matchers to the project's Gemfile:
only :test do
gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'shoulda-matchers'
end
test/unit with shoulda
----------------------
For the folks who prefer Test::Unit, they'd write tests like:
class UserTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
should have_many(:posts)
should_not allow_value("blah").for(:email)
end
The have_many and allow_value methods are the same kind of matchers
seen in the RSpec example. They come from the shoulda-matchers gem.
Add shoulda to the project's Gemfile:
only :test do
gem 'shoulda'
end
test/unit with shoulda-context
------------------------------
If you're not testing a Rails project or don't want to use the matchers,
you can use shoulda-context independently to write tests like:
class CalculatorTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
context "a calculator" do
setup do
@calculator = Calculator.new
end
should "add two numbers for the sum" do
assert_equal 4, @calculator.sum(2, 2)
end
should "multiply two numbers for the product" do
assert_equal 10, @calculator.product(2, 5)
end
end
end
Add shoulda-context to the project's Gemfile:
only :test do
gem 'shoulda-context'
end
