What unit testing frameworks are used for Rails?
I am reading the book (Pragmatic Programmers Agile Dev. with Rails) which shows how to do unit tests in Rails.
The book showed me the default rails testing suite (a subclass of Test::Unit). Is this the main testing framework that is used in the Rails community? I use RSpec when doing regular ruby, and I would like to be able to use it in Rails too (if it’s not too much of a hassle)?
Rspec is widely used in rails, and in conjunction with Cucumber, is one of the most widely used solutions today. note that rails 3 is using rspec 2, so look for rspec/rails. check out the pragprog.com book rspec and cucumber, a great resource written by the core teams.
