Subject: [Rubytests-devel] Rubicon lives
Message-ID: <45AD3729.1070909@sun.com>

I went through the exercise of converting a number of the Rubicon tests 
to test/unit, so we could start running them in JRuby as part of our 
regression suite. I only bothered converting the ones that run 100%, but 
they're available here:

http://svn.codehaus.org/jruby/trunk/jruby/test/rubicon/

The tests are far from complete, of course, and I've done nothing to 
improve that aspect of them, but there are a very large number of 
assertions that I think are worth keeping.

In the process of converting them to test/unit I've also removed 
dependencies on "rubicon.rb" and friends, which has meant in a few cases 
duplicating some utility code. That could be improved. I've also ripped 
out anything that doesn't relate to Ruby 1.8.5, since that's the primary 
target of anyone using these tests.

I want to release these back into the wild as part of Rubytests, but I'm 
not sure if anyone's out there interested in having them available again 
in this form or not. If so I'll release them back immediately and we can 
svn:externals the whole dir into JRuby as needed.

Nick Sieger and I are also interested again in converting JRuby's own 
tests to test/unit/miniunit and releasing them into the wild in the same 
way. Anyone who has interest in helping that process would be very 
welcome...and I'm sure such tests would eventually help projects like 
Rubinius and Cardinal too.
