Pending in minitest

test.rb

# in your test_helper.rb

def pending
  begin
    yield
    fail "OMG pending test passed."
  rescue MiniTest::Assertion
    skip "Still pending"
  end
end

# in your foo_test.rb

pending do
  assert false
end

FWIW, I would prefer something like this:

Test style:

def pending_instead_of_test_in_method_name
  assert false
end

Spec style:

pending "instead of 'it' with test description" do
  true.must_equal false
end

I use

def test_whatever
  # ...
  flunk "not done yet"
end
