assert_false

[aidy]

Hi,

Does anyone know why assert_false is not inlcuded in Test:Unit, but for
e.g. assertFalse( ) is a method in JUnit?

The same reason there's no assert_true? It's redundant, IMO.

assert truth
assert !truth
assert (not truth)

Yet Ruby has both 'if' and 'unless' keywords.

I think it wuld be nice if the inverted version of the Assertions
methods were named 'deny', e.g. deny_nil vs. assert_not_nil.

Hi aidy,

Have a look at the source of <path to your ruby
libs>/1.8/test/unit/assertions.rb and search for the text: "Example
Custom Assertion".
