Rspec2 / Rails3 / test_unit

Testing RSpec
1

I generate a new rails3 app using “rails new my_app -T”.

Then i run “cd my_app ; rails generate”, and I don’t see any test_unit
options. (as expected).

Then I put “gem ‘rspec-rails’” into my Gemfile, and re-run “rails
generate”.

Now I see options for test_unit.
TestUnit:
test_unit:controller
test_unit:helper
test_unit:integration
…

Why does it show options for test_unit? Is this expected?

This is not anything that RSpec is doing in any intentional way.
rspec-rails does require ‘test/unit/assertions’ and
‘test/unit/assertionfailederror’, but not ‘test/unit’ (top level).

I’d guess it’s something to do with rspec-rails generators telling rails
to use them for testing, so it also shows you the other testing
possibilities. But that’s just a guess.
