Meta: seriously forked about ci_reporter HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Jay,

I am still the maintainer but have had limited time towards integrating these patches. You're right that there is more demand for Test::Unit 2 support and other fixes.

I'd like to see things get cleaned up, and perhaps I've just been a bit too tight on the reins of the project.

As far as actions, can you do any of the following:

1. Pull request for README -- send one and if you have questions about what should be fixed let me know in the request
2. Try integrating one or more of the pull requests and see how they work.

Testing: Ideally (using RVM) we should be able to run on JRuby, Rbx, 1.8.7 and 1.9.2. JRuby and 1.8.7 work fine, Rbx probably as well, but I think 1.9.2 support is lagging partially because of the miniunit/Test::Unit situation.

The code itself might need to be teased apart for different major versions of RSpec, Test::Unit, and so on. The current code (at least for RSpec, for example) is starting to get kludgy in its attempts to support multiple versions.

Thanks for your interest, and let me know if you can help with any of the above.

How hard do you think it would be to factor out RSpec vs. Test:Unit
into ci_reporter plugins? Maybe the answer is to maintain
ci_reporter as one gem, and support for each test framework as its
own. That way, people can fork off support for newer frameworks
without affecting the old ones, and you won't have as much branch
diversion.
Easy for me to say, anyway.. I'll look at playing with some of the
pull requests this weekend.  How confident do you feel about
ci_reporter's own test coverage? That is, is there more to "see how
they work" than running the test suite and using it a little bit?

Coverage should be pretty good at this point, it's above 95%, I have
rcov tasks in the Rakefile that you can run to see where things aren't
covered. The places are probably where there are RSpec 1/2 API
differences since only one version can run at a time.

About a full weekend of work. 😄
