  • factory_bot

    A library for setting up Ruby objects as test data.

    • Project mention: Show HN: Factory-JS – TypeScript dummy object generator for testing | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-29

    I made Factory-js inspired by factory-bot (https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot), supports Prisma and Drizzle ORM and more. TypeScript is now widely used in both backend and frontend, but there is no de facto standard factory library. I'm developing a web application using Prisma, trpc, and nextjs, but I was struggling with how to write more beautiful and readable back-end tests. That's why I made factory-js.

  • vcr

    • Project mention: CableReady broadcasts are not working in system tests | /r/rails | 2023-05-10

    If you want to check out an alternative to VCR, have a look at webmock.

  • shoulda-matchers

    • Project mention: How to Use Shoulda Matchers with RSpec for Ruby on Rails | dev.to | 2023-12-20

    According to the shoulda-matchers documentation:

  • Parallel Tests

    • Project mention: About time: how to unit test code that depends on time | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-19

    The Ruby equivalent is Timecop

    Dynamic languages have the advantage to be able to rewrite the standard library classes at runtime.

  • minitest

    minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking.

    • Project mention: Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two | dev.to | 2024-03-21

    In this part, we’ll set up our testing environment so that we can test our Rails API using minitest with minitest/spec. We’ll look at the differences between traditional style unit tests and spec-style tests, or specs. I’ll demonstrate why you should use minitest-rails. We’ll look at using rack-test for testing our API. We’ll even create our own generator to generate API specs.
