A small snippet for testing.

If you want to add some special actions before and after the execution of each test, and don't want to add it to setup and teardown because you will be repeating your code for each unit test and functional test, or because it is a block, you can do an alias_method_chain for the run method:

 module Test
   module Unit
     class TestCase
       
 
       def run_with_my_block(*args, &block)
         Cache.clean # code before 
        
         a_block_that_you_want_to_execute do 
           run_without_my_block(*args, &block)
         end
         
         # Code after
       end
 
       alias_method_chain :run, :my_block
 
     end
   end
 end

You can redefine it at the beginning of your test_helper.rb for example.

Note that this code is only for Rails, becaus of the use of alias_method_chain function.
