Scott,
There was a thread about this earlier... You might be interested in
this plugin I wrote. Kinda basic but worked for me.

test-unit-to-rspec-converter
Yeah - actually I saw it, and tried it out. Although I can't lie -
it didn't work well. I can't imagine any translator really working
well. How would you add mocks + stubs + clear specifications + 1
test-per-spec in a translator, and do it intelligently?
Totally :) Yeah there's so many different syntax variants that it
becomes hard across testing styles.
Especially now that all of my test suites are converted over to
RSpec... I really don't think the complexity is worth it because for
the people that use the tool it instantly becomes useless after they
are "converted".
But, for what it's worth - it did what I expected it to do, and would
be a good, but crude way, to translate a lot test::unit code to rspec.
Thanks for the tool (and have you looked into the old rspec one -
test2spec, I believe it was called)?
No problem! Yeah the original was very interesting to look at once I
realised it did exist and wasn't a dream ( I went on a fruitless hunt
before rolling my own ).

Best,
Dave

So I've just started working on a rails project which currently has
something like 7500 LOC. All of the tests are written in
Test::Unit,
although the test coverage is pretty poor: rcov says that 25% of the
code is covered, while rake stats shows the code to test ratio as
1:0.1 (800 lines of test code).
I guess I'm wondering what would generally be advisable here. Is it
worth it to work on (or use) a test:unit => spec translator? Should
I just start using rspec when I need to start writing code, and
perform regressions when need be? Or is the project too big to even
consider using rspec?
Thanks in advance for any experienced advice,
Scott Taylor
