Hide test_unit generators when other frameworks are assigned as test_framework

#5111

Given this in a Railtie:

config.generators.test_framework   :rspec

When I run script/rails generate
Then I get the following output

...
Please choose a generator below.

Rails:
  ...

Rspec:
  rspec:install

TestUnit:
  test_unit:controller
  test_unit:helper
  test_unit:integration
  test_unit:mailer
  test_unit:model
  test_unit:observer
  test_unit:performance
  test_unit:plugin
  test_unit:scaffold

It would be nice if the test_unit:xxx generators were not visible here.

Need to make sure test_unit:integration DOES show up, however, if there is no integration_tool specified in a Railtie.

Importance changed from to Low

I added following line to application.rb . However I am not seeing respec:install as one of the options. Did something change between this ticket and rails edge.

module Demo
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.generators.test_framework   = :rspec
  end
end

$ rails g
Usage: rails generate GENERATOR [args] [options]

General options:
  -h, [--help]     # Print generator's options and usage
  -p, [--pretend]  # Run but do not make any changes
  -f, [--force]    # Overwrite files that already exist
  -s, [--skip]     # Skip files that already exist
  -q, [--quiet]    # Suppress status output

Please choose a generator below.

Rails:
  controller
  generator
  helper
  integration_test
  mailer
  migration
  model
  observer
  performance_test
  plugin
  resource
  scaffold
  scaffold_controller
  session_migration
  stylesheets

TestUnit:
  test_unit:controller
  test_unit:helper
  test_unit:integration
  test_unit:mailer
  test_unit:model
  test_unit:observer
  test_unit:performance
  test_unit:plugin
  test_unit:scaffold

Gotta have rspec-2, which is still in beta. Add this to your Gemfile:
```
gem "rspec-rails", ">= 2.0.0.beta.20"
```

What if the other test framework doesn't have some generators, then it would be nice to have the fall backs listed. Anybody agree?

Do you mean show the test_unit versions for only those that are missing?

That would be ideal. But is that possible with the current setup? If not maybe keep the test_unit generators listed for completeness? Just my opinion though, need more +1/-1 in here.

why isn't testunit a gem like rspec? then it could be listed in my Gemfile and I could omit it if I don't want its generators to show up

Still very annoying to see the test_unit generators. Rails3 is supposed to be more modular and agnostic. Test::Unit should play on the same footing as RSpec.

Sarah got the issue. The problem is that the test unit compatibility is not a gem (and I don't think it will be). The only way to effectively remove test_unit is by replacing rails/all by specific requires, as in:

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/all.rb

This is what the --skip-activerecord option in app generator does and maybe --skip-testunit could do the same. Anyone willing to provide a patch?

This is a minor annoyance but not lets get crazy over here and say Rails 3 is neither modular nor agnostic because of this, shall we?
