Question

In Ruby’s Test::Unit, how do I get the current test_ method’s name? In MiniTest, this can be done by self.__name__, however, it doesn’t work for the full version.

Answer 1

I got it!

The test name gets passed up the inheritance chain, so I just needed to capture it and save it locally for my reference.

def initialize(name = nil)
    @test_name = name
    super(name) unless name.nil?
end
