pending by Jeremy McAnally http://jeremymcanally.com

== DESCRIPTION:

pending lets you define a block of test code that is currently "pending" functionality, similar to RSpec's pending method.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• A pending method to let you define pending test code

== SYNOPSIS:

The pending method lets you define a block of test code that is currently "pending" functionality.

You can use it two ways. One is simply put a string as the parameter:

def test_web_service_integration pending "This is not done yet..." end

This will output a "P" in the test output alerting there is pending functionality.

You can also supply a block of code:

def test_new_helpers pending "New helpers for database display" do output = render_record(User.first) assert_equal "Jerry User ([email protected])", output end end

If the block doesn't fail, then the test will flunk with output like:

<New helpers for database display> did not fail.

If the test fails (i.e., the functionality isn't implemented), then it will not fail the surrounding test.

== REQUIREMENTS:

• Test::Unit

== INSTALL:

sudo gem install pending
