Anyone know if there’s a way to transform test/unit output into xUnit  
XML output? I need to emit something that our continuous integration  
system (Hudson) can understand.

Google hasn’t been my friend in this regard… just some old ruby  
projects that aren’t maintained anymore and that don’t really work.

Thanks!  
Jeff

test-unit-ex looks like it supports this:

[http://rubyforge.org/projects/test-unit-ext/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/test-unit-ext/)  
[http://test-unit-ext.rubyforge.org/readme.html](http://test-unit-ext.rubyforge.org/readme.html)

Appears to be actively developed. I haven’t tried it myself, though.

Regards,

Dan
