@tisba@ruby.social doesn’t currently support it. For advanced mocking/stubbing look to mocha.
Hey @tcannonfodder@mastodon.social, `define` on this page is colored in a way that is basically invisible. Similar with `require` and comments.

@eightbitraptor @floehopper @timriley 🫡 Cool story. I've given plenty of context and qualifications. I don't feel like repeating myself esp on such a shitty medium.

@eightbitraptor @floehopper @timriley Your analogy only works because you're supposed to be welding, not screwing.

@timriley @floehopper @eightbitraptor it was. Not mocking is better than mocking for 80-90% of all tests.
Git Etiquette Reminder:
```
[alias]
down = pull --rebase
onup = push
```
Now you too can join the James Brown school of git:
`git down && git onup`

Release 1185: Oh god... here we go... (again) IT IS TIME! minitest v6.0.0 (final) has been released!
All the cleanup I've wanted for years is here! cmdline runner! line numbers! Plugins are opt-in by default! It is even (a teeny bit) faster than before!
This one is big. ***DO NOT BLINDLY UPDATE!*** Especially if you use minitest-around or are on rails but not rails edge (there are internal fixes in there).***

Oh god... here we go... (again) minitest v6.0.0.a.1 has been released!!!
This is an alpha level release in order to get feedback. I'm pretty settled on integrating minitest-sprint's minitest cmdline but less sold on having bisect+server integrated.
Please give me feedback here: https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues/1040
