runs the test suite, and restores the original file afterward.
It temporarily replaces the file’s source with a mutated version,
Runner is responsible for executing tests against mutated code.

def self.run_mutation(path:, mutated_source:, test_path: nil, verbose: false)

Returns:

Parameters:
  • test_path (String, nil) -- optional path to a specific test file to run
  • mutated_source (String) -- the mutated version of the file's source code
  • path (String) -- the path to the source file to mutate
