Answer 2

EDIT: html2haml does work as advertised, however you must use version obtained from the current master branch of the haml github repoistory.

The version of html2haml included with the haml gem currently available from rubygems is no good. This is the version you will get if you were to do gem install haml right now. Using the version supplied with the gem will result in invalid haml, as it cannot process ruby properly.

Answer 3

Way late to the game here, but this post still flies high in the Google when searching for similar solutions.

Install the html2haml gem, pop into your app/views directory and give this a try:

find ./ -name '*.erb' -exec html2haml -e {} {}.haml \;
find ./ -name "*.erb.haml" -exec sh -c 'mv "$1" "${1%.erb.haml}.haml"' _ {} \;
find ./ -name '*.erb' -exec rm {} \;

The flaw in this solution is that it doesn't retain revision history from your old .erb files to your new .haml files. But at times where that revision history of those view files isn't a big deal, this solution has served me pretty well.

Also, be sure to watch for any errors in the html2haml line before you delete the old .erb files.
