Validating Core Gem Configuration in WPScan

This test suite validates core functionality of the WPScan gem, focusing on version verification and application name handling. It demonstrates fundamental RSpec unit testing patterns for Ruby gem validation.

Test Coverage Overview

The test coverage ensures basic gem functionality through version number validation and app name verification. Key test cases include:

  • Version number presence validation
  • Application name string override verification
  • Core gem configuration testing

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach utilizes RSpec’s describe/it blocks for clear test organization. Implementation leverages expect syntax with matcher methods like not_to be nil and to eql for assertions. The structure follows Ruby gem testing best practices with isolated unit tests.

Technical Details

Testing tools and configuration:

  • RSpec testing framework
  • Frozen string literal pragma
  • Describe blocks for context grouping
  • Expectation matchers for assertions

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite demonstrates clean testing practices including:

  • Proper test isolation and organization
  • Clear test descriptions and contexts
  • Efficient assertion patterns
  • Standard Ruby gem testing structure
