I am in the process of rewriting hundreds of rspec tests to work with rspec 2/rspec rails for rails 3. This is killing my "TDD saves time" argument and it is really all the fault of rspec. Rails 3 requires Rspec 2, which has syntax tweaks that seem largely masturbatory. Now I have 183 failing tests, and no confidence whether it is rails changes I need to make, or updates to test syntax that are needed. Essentially I now have a parallel app to maintain and upgrade (the tests) and with test::unit which is stable I would come out much farther ahead effort-wise as I would get the benefit of the tests, without large maintanence cost for the tests.
In summary, Rspec is on a high horse and thinks I should maintain it like it was another app.
edit: And now I'm wondering if I need a test suite for my test suite. TDD Turtles, all the way down...
