Hi Steve,

Having written assert_* and should bla for 12 years, I was quite curious about the "Wrong" way. So far, so good:)

Googling "wrong" related articles is difficult, would you change the name? Something more googable like Wronga, wrongwrong, wrong-assertions, ...

Cheers,

Jean-Michel

Googling "wrong assert" and "wrong ruby" both give this gem as the top 2 results (for me -- I know google does some customization these days) so I don't see a big need for a name change.

I think the reason you can't find wrong-related articles is there aren't any. Want to write one?

Fair enough. Premature optimization;)

There is one interesting resource, written by Myron:

http://myronmars.to/n/dev-blog/2012/07/mixing-and-matching-parts-of-rspec

it is result number 10 when searching "Wrong+RSpec", with plenty of false positives after number 1.

I'll write a blog post about "Wrong" and we'll see how easy it is to find.

I have a taste for terse gem names. "thin", "unicorn", "wrong", etc. And I feel your lamentation in that random blog posts are less likely to show up.

But you can't do worse than "Test::Unit".

Seriously.

:+1:

also the project just deserves a cooler and more positive name anyway :) ideas:

  • magic_assert
  • blob_checker
  • simple_assert
  • smooth_assert
  • checkmate
  • kickassert
  • expector
  • denyal
