I don't know how this will work for you, but if I were doing this, I would sit down with the existing app and write cucumber stories (http://cukes.info/ ) that describe it and implement to make the scenarios pass. What that implies is that you will: 1. Install rails 2. Create a rails project 3. Install rspec and cucumber gems 4. Learn as you go how to use them As far as I know there is no VB2Rails tool. But the benefit of creating the acceptance scenarios in cucumber and implementing to make them work is you wind up with a really good set of tests that will help keep your app stable. I'd also recommend reading the rSpec Book (http://www.pragprog.com/titles/achbd/the-rspec-book ), currently in beta. The test-first religion is an opinion shared by many in the Ruby community. Your mileage may vary. Hope this is useful info. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
