rspec users - Mar 2012 - RSpec & JRuby

We''re working on a project with a bunch of padrino services running on
JRuby 1.6.5. Currently, the tests are written Test::Unit, but we want to move to
writing specs. We tried rspec but that seemed to fail, until we looked closer
and found that JRuby 1.6.6 has fixed whatever the issue was.

We are in the process of upgrading to JRuby 1.6.6, which might mean that we can
migrate to RSpec. But, I was warned that RSpec has had a number of issues with
JRuby in the past and there''s no reason not to expect them in the
future, and that I should look at MiniTest''s specs instead. Do you guys
have any issues using RSpec with JRuby? Any advice on the matter would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Not sure if this helps, but all RSpec libs (with the exception of rspec-mocks)
are passing JRuby 1.6.7 on Travis.
