Testing private and protected methods with ruby

When I have to test my protected and private methods in ruby, I make the methods public for the scope of the test.


MyClass.send(:public, *MyClass.protected_instance_methods)
MyClass.send(:public, *MyClass.private_instance_methods)


Just place this code in your testing class substituting your class name. Include the namespace if applicable.
