Testing Template Factory Instance Creation in Liquid

This test suite validates the core functionality of Liquid’s template factory implementation, focusing on proper template instance creation and type verification. The tests ensure the template factory correctly instantiates Liquid templates with expected behavior.

Test Coverage Overview

The test coverage focuses on the fundamental template creation functionality in Liquid’s template factory system. Key test areas include:

Template instance type verification
Basic template creation validation
Factory method return type checking

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach utilizes Minitest’s assertion framework to verify template factory behavior. The implementation follows a straightforward unit testing pattern, using direct factory method invocation and instance type checking. The test leverages Ruby’s class inheritance verification to ensure proper template object creation.
