I would really like to try out fujin’s Minitest  
[https://github.com/fujin/minitest-cookbook](https://github.com/fujin/minitest-cookbook)

Does anyone know of any examples? That would definitely help me get started

Did you have a look at the test examples I included? They do some basic  
sinatra tests.

I plan to add minitest tests for our recently released pennyworth  
continuous packaging system but probably not for a week or so.

What kind of stuff are you needing help with?

perhaps I am retarded, I don't see the sinatra examples in your github repo  
for minitest.

tests I would like to do:

Check if a package resource actually installed a package

Check that a process is listening on port 80 after after starting the  
apache service

Check that a user has access to a directory that they should
