MiniTest vs Minitest about minitest HOT 4 CLOSED

This got me, I had extend MiniTest::Spec::DSL. Fortunantly this issue pointed me in the right direction!

from minitest.

I can imagine a placeholder MiniTest that blows up instantly if you try to use it.

How do you envision this?

from minitest.

Maybe?

module MiniTest
  class Test
    def self.inherited(klass)
      # gentle
      warn "`MiniTest` is really ancient and deprecated, use `Minitest` pls"
      # aggressive
      raise "`MiniTest` is really ancient and deprecated, use `Minitest` pls"
    end
  end
end

from minitest.

Thanks for creating this issue - I just upgraded some gems and also had the error NameError: uninitialized constant MiniTest which is because somehow MiniTest::Mock.new used to work but not anymore.

Using the proper Minitest module does the trick - unsurprisingly. Too bad I didn't get the usual Ruby like error messages along the lines of "did you mean 'Minitest'?"
