title: "Minitest's refute"
categories: bits
Minitest's refute checks for 'not true' (falsy) rather than for false. If we
want our tests to fail when nil comes around perhaps, rather
than testing for: refute boolean? tests should check for
both: refute boolean? and refute_nil boolean?
Both refutations could be replaced with assert_equal false, boolean?.
In which case it would be better to use
assert_equal true, boolean? rather than assert boolean?
for consistency.
