Before/After methods for Ruby Minitest framework

Question

I'm using the latest version of Ruby(2.0.0) and Minitest (5.0.8).

I am looking for a way to create 2 methods, a before and an after. The before method should run before Minitest even starts on the testcases and the after should run once ALL of the test have finished.

I already use the setup() and teardown() methods that run before and after each individual test but I'm looking for something that wraps around the whole Minitest suite.

I have seen:

Ruby Minitest: Suite- or Class- level setup?

and

Before/After Suite when using Ruby MiniTest

Which are both out of date with the latest version of Minitest.

Is this still possible?

Answer 1

The before method is easy, you just configure your test setup to call a method before the Minitest starts.

The after method can be achieve by using the method Minitest.after_run(&block) provided by the Minitest API. Ex:

Minitest.after_run do
  puts 'All tests finished'
  my_method_call()
end
