formatter)
- eliminate spicycode-rcov dev dependency for rubygems < 1.3
Version 1.1.9 / 2008-10-20

groups. This means that if you have ‘describe MyModule do’,
MyModule will not be included in the group.
- 2 major enhancements
- Add extend to configuration (thanks to advice from Chad Fowler)
- Modules are no longer implicitly included in example groups
- 4 minor enhancements

args_to_yield to the stub‘s original args_to_yield (Pat Maddox)
- fixed bug where rspec-autotest (autospec) was loading non-spec files in
spec directory. Fixes 559.

false (negative) positives (Mathias Meyer). Closes 548.

Taylor). Closes 547.
- 1 minor enhancement
- removed deprecated mock argument constraint symbols
Version 1.1.5 / 2008-09-28
IMPORTANT: use the new ‘autospec’ command instead of
‘autotest’. We changed the way autotest discovers rspec so the
autotest executable won‘t automatically load rspec anymore. This
allows rspec to live side by side other spec frameworks without always
co-opting autotest through autotest‘s discovery mechanism.
ALSO IMPORTANT: $rspec_options is gone. If you were using this for anything
(like your own runners), use Spec::Runner.options instead.
ADDITIONALLY IMPORTANT: If you have any custom formatters, you‘ll
need to modify example_pending to accept three arguments instead of just
two. See the rdoc for
Spec::Runner::Formatter::BaseFormatter#example_pending for more
information.

Version 1.1.0-RC1
Textmate Bundle users - this release adds a new RSpec bundle that
highlights describe, it, before and after and provides navigation to
descriptions and examples (rather than classes and methods). When you first
install this, it is going to try to hijack all of your .rb files. All you
need to do is open a .rb file that does not end with ‘spec.rb’
and change the bundle selection from RSpec to Ruby. TextMate will do the
right thing from then on.
Shortcuts for tab-activated snippets all follow the TextMate convention of
2 or 3 letters of the first word, followed by the first letter of each
subsequent word. So "should have_at_least" would be triggered by
shhal.
We reduced the scope for running spec directories, files, a single file or
individual spec in TextMate to source.ruby.rspec. This allowed us to
restore the standard Ruby shortcuts:
CMD-R runs all the specs in one file CMD-SHIFT-R runs an individual spec
CMD-OPT-R runs any files or directories selected in the TextMate drawer

Quick bugfix release to ensure that you don‘t have to have the rspec
gem installed in order to use autotest with rspec_on_rails.
- Fixed [13015] autotest gives failure in ‘spec_command’ after
upgrade 1.0.5 to 1.0.6
Version 1.0.6
The "holy cow, batman, it‘s been a long time since we released
and there are a ton of bug fixes, patches and even new features"
release.
Warning: Spec::Rails users: In fixing 11508, we‘ve removed the
raise_controller_errors method. As long as you follow the upgrade
instructions and run ‘script/generate rspec’ you‘ll be
fine, but if you skip this step you need to manually go into spec_helper.rb
and remove the call to that method (if present - it might not be if you
haven‘t upgraded in a while).
Warning: Implementors of custom formatters. Formatters will now be sent an
Example object instead of just a String for example_started,
example_passed and example_failed. In certain scenarios (Spec::Ui with
Spec::Distributed), the formatter must ask the Example for its sequence
number instead of keeping track of a sequence number internal to the
formatter. Most of you shouldn‘t need to upgrade your formatters
though - the Example#to_s method returns the example name/description, so
you should be able to use the passed Example instance as if it were a String.

Refactoring (Patch from Scott Tayler)

This is a maintenance release with mostly cleaning up, and one minor
enhancement - Modules are automatically included when described directly.
- Renamed Spec::Rails’ rspec_resource generator to rspec_scaffold.
- Removed Spec::Rails’ be_feed matcher since it‘s based on
assert_select_feed which is not part of Rails (despite that docs for

Spec::Rails helpers, but now also in core.

example

Version 0.9.1
This release introduces describe and it (aliased as context and specify for
backwards compatibility). This allows you to express specs like this:
describe SomeClass do # Creates a Behaviour
it "should do something" do # Creates an Example
end
end
The command line features four new options that give you more control over
what specs are being run and in what order. This can be used to verify that
your specs are independent (by running in opposite order with
—reverse). It can also be used to cut down feedback time by running
the most recently modified specs first (—loadby mtime
—reverse).
Further, —example replaces the old —spec option, and it can now
take a file name of spec names as an alternative to just a spec name. The
—format failing_examples:file.txt option allows you to output an
—example compatible file, which makes it possible to only rerun the
specs that failed in the last run. Spec::Rails uses all of these four
options by default to optimise your RSpec experience.
There is now a simple configuration model. For Spec::Rails, you do
something like this:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false
config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures'
end
You can now use mocha or flexmock with RSpec if you prefer either to
RSpec‘s own mock framework. Just put this:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.mock_with :mocha
end
or this:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.mock_with :flexmock
end
in a file that is loaded before your specs. You can also configure included
modules and predicate_matchers:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.include SomeModule
config.predicate_matchers[:does_something?] = :do_something
end
See Spec::DSL::Behaviour for more on predicate_matchers

one run.

Version 0.7.0
This is the "Grow up and eat your own dog food release". RSpec is
now used on itself and we‘re no longer using Test::Unit to test it. Although, we
are still extending Test::Unit for
the rails plugin (indirectly - through ZenTest)
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS RELEASE IS NOT 100% BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE TO 0.6.x
There are a few changes that will require that you change your existing
specs.
RSpec now handles equality exactly like ruby does:
# actual.should_equal(expected) will pass if actual.equal?(expected)
returns true # actual.should eql(expected) will pass if
actual.eql?(expected) returns true # actual.should == expected will pass if
actual == expected) returns true
At the high level, eql? implies equivalence, while equal? implies object
identity. For more information on how ruby deals w/ equality, you should do
this:
ri equal?
or look at this:
www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html#M001057
Also, we left in should_be as a synonym for should_equal, so the only specs
that should break are the ones using should_equal (which used to use
== instead of .equal?).
Lastly, should_be used to handle true and false differently from any other
values. We‘ve removed this special handling, so now actual.should_be
true will fail for any value other than true (it used to pass for any
non-nil, non-false value), and actual.should_be false will fail for any
value other than false (it used to pass for nil or false).
Here‘s what you‘ll need to do to update your specs: # search
for "should_equal" and replace with "should_eql" # run
specs
If any specs still fail, they are probably related to should be_true or
should_be_false using non-boolean values. Those you‘ll just have to
inspect manually and adjust appropriately (sorry!).
