I recently wrote my first gem and am now in the process of learning how
to write tests for it before I release.
My gem is pretty basic and really just has a few class files with some
methods for using GET to an API that returns some JSON data.
I'm trying to come up with what I should be testing for, but to be
honest this is where testing has always stumped me.
If I have a class file that looks like the following:
module MyModule
class MyClass < MyParentClass
def search(keyword)
MyModule.get("/someurl/#{keyword}")
end
end
end
The method in this class uses the HTTParty gem and just does a get on
this URL which returns JSON.
Is it a valid use case to test for the keyword argument? I am not sure
if there is any benefit to testing this since it's so very basic. It's a
good experiment for me since I am so new to testing but I really want to
understand what specifically I should be testing.
Any guidance would be greatly appreicated.
Thanks,
Ben
