Convert tests to Rspec #2

Closed Cruikshanks closed 8 years ago

Cruikshanks commented 8 years ago

Sorry :anguished:, should have made it clear before putting together the gem. To reduce the overhead on developers within the EA, particularly those in the throws of learning new skills like Ruby we've gone all in on certain choices, one of them being Rspec for our test framework.

Therefore when we get the chance we need to convert the current minitests to Rspec.

I don't understand why using the default and simpler minitest is an overhead, and adding an additional DSL is not.

Cruikshanks commented 8 years ago

Just to confirm our discussion, this isn't really about the technical merits of the 2 test frameworks, and I agree I'd rather avoid adding to the gem just to support a different test tool. This is born out of considering the current skills of those who will be responsible for maintaining this gem.

Agreed, and I will make the change when I have some free time.
