Project Generator With Shoulda Test Causing Test::Unit::TestCase Related Error

[sshaw]

Using Padrino 0.12.3 with ActiveRecord ORM.

The shoulda generator requires Test::Unit::TestCase which results in a variety of errors.

Under 2.1.2:

Once I replace the Test::Unit stuff with Minitest::Test I get a deprecation warning that's sure to confuse some:

/tmp/shoulda-padrino >rake test:models
=> Executing Rake test:models ...

Run options: --seed 45402

# Running:

DEPRECATION WARNING: You did not specify a value for the configuration option `active_support.test_order`. In Rails 5, the default value of this option will change from `:sorted` to `:random`.
To disable this warning and keep the current behavior, you can add the following line to your `config/environments/test.rb`:

  Rails.application.configure do
    config.active_support.test_order = :sorted
  end

Alternatively, you can opt into the future behavior by setting this option to `:random`. (called from test_order at /Users/sshaw/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2/gems/activesupport-4.2.0/lib/active_support/test_case.rb:42)
.

I would try to fix this but I wondered: Should shoulda -well shoulda-context really- continue to be supported? My thinking is that with the popularity of MiniTest, people are now using MiniTest::Spec for their rspec free contexts.

[namusyaka]

Hmm. shoulda hasn't been maintained for quite a while. I think we could drop shoulda and other old components.

[ujifgc]

:+1:

[nesquena]

Yep 0.13.0 is a great time to drop outdated components. Shoulda being one of them.

[sshaw]

As far as I can tell Shoulda (context and validations) is still maintained.

[namusyaka]

shoulda-matchers has been maintained actively, but shoulda-context seems to be stopped maintaining. I'm not sure if we should support the shoulda as our component. If we continue to support shoulda, we should fix a few points.

• Standard attached test-unit has different behavior depending on the version of ruby
• I'd like to suggest to use the test-unit. Also this gem should be inserted before gem 'shoulda'

About outdated components, I've just opened an issue.
