Minitest::Byebug

Start a byebug session when a test fails. Heavily inspired by minitest-debugger

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'minitest-byebug'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install minitest-byebug

Usage

Add this to the top of your test file or helper:

require 'minitest/byebug' if ENV['DEBUG']

Then run your tests as normal but define DEBUG=1.

% DEBUG=1 rake test

Todo

• Stop in the failed test. e.g. at an assert call.
  • Workaround: when the session starts, up 3 will take you to the test failure.
• Stop on errors.
