Test-unit oddities

Testing RSpec
1

I think I’ve tracked down why rspec dislikes test-unit gems > 1.3.5

this code:

gem ‘rails’, ‘= 2.3.5’

puts $LOAD_PATH.find{|l| l.instance_variables.include?
(:@gem_prelude_index)}
puts $LOAD_PATH.uniq.find{|l| l.instance_variables.include?
(:@gem_prelude_index)}

[if you take off the ‘= 2.3.5’ it gives different results]
Anyway rails itself ends up doing a

$LOAD_PATH.uniq!

which clears the gem_prelude_index, causing test-unit ‘= 1.3.5’ to be
added at the end of $LOAD_PATH, which means that its brother , v
2.0.6, precedes it, and gets loaded.

so the question is…whose fault is this? gems? rails?

-r

I think it’s rails’ fault for not being careful when running
$LOAD_PATH.uniq!
…
-r
