Why Smother?
So you have some Ruby 💎 code and want to improve your test coverage.
Great Idea. But who has time time write more tests? You certainly don't.
Enter Smother.
Smother ✨ magically ✨ improves your test coverage within seconds!
Usage
Install Smother and call it in your test suite. A single test will do.
bundle add smothertest 'smother everything' do
Smother.my_code
endThat's it. Now run your tests and enjoy your improved coverage! 🤩
How It Works
It's really simple.
Smother identifies and calls all public methods in your code base with appropriate arguments. Any errors are ignored, so your code can continue execution.
This dramatically increases code coverage.
FAQ
Wait, where are the assertions? This doesn't actually test anything?!
Who cares? Smother improves your code coverage. Brrr, Number go up! 📈
Why not use AI to generate tests?
Why waste your precious credits if Smother can magically improve your code coverage in seconds?
Why not fake the coverage results altogether?
That would be cheating.
Smothering my code feels... violent?
Smother is efficient, but efficiency comes at a price.
Is this a joke?
Improving code coverage is no a joke.
No, really.
Okay, I thought this would be a fun way to play around with introspection and dynamic programming in Ruby.
I don't actually recommend anyone actually use this in any setting anywhere.
