While working on a test suite for a project I came across a line in one of my books that mentioned that Ruby's Test::Unit
framework has a graphical mode, just there so that your tests can have a slower startup time than ever before. The tk
mode works out-of-the-box on OS X Leopard:
ruby test/test_name.rb -r tk
To increase your test runtimes when using rake
under Rails, try:
rake TESTOPTS=--runner=tk
