Feature: Test Validation support for MiniTest

[simonireilly]

Background

The test validation helpers are a great binding between implementation and outcome. This closes the loop between DSL code in controllers and the actual API behaviour.

By asserting the behaviour against the docs, the docs remain valid, through time and changes; and are therefore easier to maintain; and drift is prevented.

See response validation here

Issue

They lack MiniTest Support.

Changes

The Rspec specific code is only this portion of the lib

apipie-rails/lib/apipie/rspec/response_validation_helper.rb

Lines 130 to 157 in 4be3741

	RSpec::Matchers.define :match_declared_responses do
	match do |actual|
	(schema, validation_errors) = subject.send(:schema_validation_errors_for_response)
	valid = (validation_errors == [])
	Apipie::print_validation_errors(validation_errors, schema, response) unless valid
	valid
	end
	end
	#---------------------------------
	# Auto-validation logic
	#---------------------------------
	module RSpec::Rails::ViewRendering
	# Augment the RSpec DSL
	module ClassMethods
	def auto_validate_rendered_views
	before do
	@is_response_validation_on = true
	end
	after do
	@is_response_validation_on = false
	end
	end
	end
	end

A refactor to have the Test helpers injected into the controllers moved separate to the test helpers used by the invoking test framework would add support for any type of testing framework.

Intention

I can support making this change to make minitest work with this through the proposed refactor.
