Wrapping minitest test blocks

Question

I'm using minitest with rails 3.2. I want to define my own "test" function that does some special stuff, then proceeds as normal.

Normally, you define tests like this:

class MyControllertest < ActionController::TestCase                        
  test "should note have defined x" do
    assert(!(defined? x))
    get :index
    assert_response :success
  end
end

I would like to be able to do the following

class MyControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase                        
  special_test "should define X" do
    assert(defined? x)
    get :index
    assert_response :success
  end
end

So, I tried the following in a test helper that I include

class ActiveSupport::TestCase    
  def self.special_test(name)                                                                                                                                                    
    self.test(name) do                                                                                                                                                           
      x=1
      yield                                                                                                                                                                     
    end                                                                                                                                                                            
  end    
end                                                                                                                                                

But, I get

undefined method `get' for MyControllerTest:Class

Can someone help teach me a little about metaprogramming / how to go about this?

在测试示例中这很奇怪，原因是您正在测试哪个子控件ActionController::TestCase但是要在ActiveSupport::TestCase中定义您的方法，如果需要，请在ActionController::TestCase定义您的自定义方法。
