Question

I have this Unit Test file:

class WebsiteCheckPageElements < Test::Unit::TestCase

def setup
 ...
end

def test_achievements_iknow_report_page
  ...
end

def test_achievements_daily_report_page
  ...
end

def test_client_side_report_page
  ...
end
end

I need to write a ruby script that will write the names of the tests to .txt file. Something like

setup
test_achievements_iknow_report_page
test_achievements_daily_report_page
test_client_side_report_page

Thank you in advance for the suggestions.

Answer 1

You could use a simple script that uses regular expressions to print the lines that match def:

match_test_methods.rb

File.open('your_unit_test_file.rb').each_line do |line|
  match = line.match(/def (.+)/)
  puts match[1] if match
end

Then put the result of the script in a .txt file

ruby match_test_methods.rb > test_methods.txt
