How to skip / mock a test when no block is provided in Rails 5

Question

I was having trouble figuring out how to stub out tests in Rails in the manner that Rspec does, without the rest of the Rspec baggage.

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure where this belongs, I put it in a file called:

config/initializers/integration_test_overrides.rb

But there might be a better place for it.

class ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

  def self.test(test_string)
    if block_given?
      super
    else
      super(test_string) do
        skip
      end
    end
  end

end

Now when you call a test without the block:

test "endpoint accepts xml input"

The test will automatically skip it.
