#<DRb::DRbUnknown:0x007fdfb22d2898> instead of summary

[victornamuso]

Upon moving to 0.0.7 from 0.0.6, I now get #DRb::DRbUnknown:0x007fdfb22d2898 instead of the summary line (x tests, x assertions, x failures, etc...). Solely rolling back to 0.0.6 in my gemfile fixes the issue. The tests appear to be running because I do get visual feedback of the failure/error if one occurs.

Hmm... are you by chance using Test::Unit on MRI 1.9.2?

[victornamuso]

Yes

[nixme]

Hrm... I'm wondering whether it's better to split up this gem into spork-minitest and spork-testunit since they both have completely different code paths at this point. We'd also stop breaking people when changes are made like this.

Anyone have a better idea?

I just came across this. I'm using MRI 1.8.7, Rails 3.0.10, Test::Unit. Is there another gem that I should be using for Test::Unit to interpret the object?

I have the same problem with 0.0.7, MRI 1.9.3, and Rails 3.1.3. Downgrading to 0.0.6 fixes it :-(

[aspiers]

@nixme: yes, sounds like a good idea to split off spork-minitest into a separate gem.

[aspiers]

I looked into this further. The problem is at the top of testdrb where it first tries to require 'minitest/unit', and then reverts to test/unit on LoadError. This is not a valid approach, because the presence of minitest does not guarantee that you are using it. I am on MRI 1.9.3 + Rails 3.2.1, and minitest is installed because several gems including rake and rdoc depend on it - so in fact minitest is pretty much guaranteed to be installed in any modern Rails environment! However, I am using the guard-test gem to launch Spork, so my DRb server is set up to run with test/unit not minitest. (This was a deliberate choice because last time I looked, guard-minitest was riddled with issues.)

So I strongly recommend that the minitest support should be syphoned off into spork-minitest to avoid further calamity.

[gabeodess]

I too would like this fixed!

Removed minitest support in my own fork. You might like to use it in the meantime: https://github.com/djmaze/spork-testunit

Thanks @djmaze, you version works well with my functional and unit test. However my integration tests are running but I can't see my tests outputs. I will investigate on it.
