rspec users - Jun 2009 - When spec/test/unit is used then TestUnit Console Runner.run TestCase does not run testcases

Hi, I have some old test/unit testcases (used for browser acceptance
tests) that I want to convert to rspec.
I first started converting assertions to matchers  and my tests ran
fine using TestRunner.run method

1) Here is my test that works when Spec::Matchers were added to TestUnit only

require ''test/unit''
require ''spec/expectations''
class Test::Unit::TestCase
  include Spec::Matchers
end

class Test_spec < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_a
    ''a''.should == ''a''
  end
end

# TestRunner
require ''test/unit/ui/console/testrunner''
puts "before runner some code"
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run Test_spec
puts "after runner some code"

The reason I use TestRunner is for some browser driving and desktop
cleanup and other non test stuff.
Then console runner runs testcase and I follow with some other code
(email, notifications etc...)

When I now started using ''spec/test/unit'' the Console runner
will not run tests.

2) here is the setup with ''spec/test/unit'' that does not run

require ''spec/test/unit''
class Test_spec < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_a
    ''a''.should == ''a''
  end
end

# This now will not run Test_spec class
require ''test/unit/ui/console/testrunner''
puts "before runner"
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run Test_spec
puts "after runner"


== I use rspec 1.2.7 (with Ruby 1.8.6 on Windows)


Am I missing something?
I would appreciate feedback
Thanks.

This is by design. When you run with RSpec, RSpec takes over the run,
taking test/unit''s runner out of the picture. Sorry I can''t
give you a
better answer, except to say that future versions of RSpec may not
suffer this problem. But that''s a few months off (at least), and just
a gleam in my eye.

Cheers,
David

Thanks David,
And is there another mechanism I could use from Rspec that explicitly
calls TestCase or ExampleGroup class?
I just want to retain that mechanism of ''run some code then run tests
then run some code''
This is for Watir Browser tests so I have workflow setup code that
then drives test cases

Thanks again

Others have written custom runners before. It''s not really optimized
for that but it''s doable.

You may want to take a look at micronaut, which I believe is rspec and
test/unit compatible and hackable.
