Ruby, Rails, Test::Rails Cheat Sheet 33 comments
A cheat sheet that shows the assertions in Test::Unit, the ones added by Rails, and the ones further added by Test::Rails (part of the ZenTest gem).

Yay!
Any chance of a non-PDF version?
Oh man I’ve been hoping for an asserts cheat sheet, thanks so much.
yeah – thats pretty cool thanks a lot
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
This is poetry.
Perfect! I was just trying to find a list of the methods I can use in my tests, and then this shows up. I’ve added it to http://techcheatsheets.com/
Liking this one.. thanks :)
Thanks a bunch.. I love cheatsheets. I found a couple for Ruby On Rails which I find handy… get them here and here.

Brilliant! I didn’t realize how much I wanted this until I saw it.
One comment though – the white text on the light gray background (Standard Assertions etc) is almost invisible on my screen.
Thank you, thank you, this is really useful!
I thought only games have cheats!!
Thanks Geoffrey! One request – can you please add http response codes and their rails identifiers for functional test? Perhaps on the back page?
This is great. I do have a couple suggestions. Some Rails assertions seem to be missing like assert_success, assert_no_cookie for instance. Perhaps those are in Edge Rails. The other item is determining which set of assertions belong to which group. Perhaps a label for each grouping?
Thanks, Kevin
Some assertions have been deprecated, so I left them out (assert_success is one of those, I think).
assert_cookie is a not part of the Rails core as far as I can tell. I listed Test::Rails assertions because it is a useful package and I’m using it for my apps now.
I’ll make the group label more obvious.
Sweet! Not being a ‘real’ developer, now all I need is a Peepcode on testing and I’ll be writing some quality code instead of these hacks!
Thanks, I love it very helpful.
Question: I love the quality of the cheat sheet what tool or editor do you use to create your cheat sheets? I use Rspec for my testing and I would like to put out a cheat sheet for the BDD folks.
@railsn00b: You’re in luck…a PeepCode on testing is coming next month.
@Carlos: I use OmniGraffle (also the preferred tool of Amy Hoy and many others).

Thanks Geoffrey, for the info on OmniGraffle. I plan to post some helpful (I hope) cheat sheets very soon to: http://www.blog.notesonrails.com/
Geoffrey, thanks again for pointing me toward OmniGraffle, it is very cool tool. Here is the first cheatsheet I created with it: http://www.blog.notesonrails.com/articles/2006/09/06/rspec-cheatsheet
