  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

  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?
