Issue #2969 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
While I agree with the goal, I'm not sure how far automated conversion will take us. Many of the older tests are idiosyncratically structured and an automated conversion may only further obscure their intent. The minimalistic just run-them-as-if-they-were-rspec solutions are potentially worrisome in that they appear to introduce semantic changes that may subtlety affect the validity of some tests, while not actually addressing the core problem (to wit, that the older tests suck). But yeah, we need to do something about them. ---------------------------------------- Refactor #2969: Convert Test::Unit tests to RSpec http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2969 Author: James Turnbull Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Markus Roberts Category: testing Target version: Affected version: 0.25.1 Branch: Use automatic conversion to convert Test::Unit tests to Rspec.
