Test Spec Script¶ ↑

This script converts test files from test/spec to Rails 2.3+ standard test syntax.

github.com/xing/test-spec-script

Here’s an example to get an idea of the change:

before¶ ↑

context "A new pair of running shoes", ActiveRecord::TestCase do
  it "should be comfortable" do
    RunningShoes.new.should.be :comfortable
  end
end

after ¶ ↑

class ANewPairOfRunningShoesTest < ActiveRecord::TestCase 
  test "should be comfortable" do
    assert(RunningShoes.new == :comfortable)
  end
end

Usage¶ ↑

The script accepts a directory path from which it will recursively search for *test.rb files to convert.

./convert-test-spec-to-test-unit ./test

You can use the --test or -toption to print to stdout instead of overwriting the files.

./convert-test-spec-to-test-unit ./test --test

There is a --strip-whitespaces or -s option that strips whitespaces from empty lines.

Credits¶ ↑

The script was initiated by Thomas Baustert and greatly extended by Stefan Kaes. Phillip Oertel provided a few lines as well.
