= Upgrade to rspec-1.2.1 == What's Changed === require 'rubygems' unless ENV['NO_RUBYGEMS'] After minor public outcry and confusion, we restored necessary references to rubygems in rspec. If you use a different mechanism for managing gems, just set a NO_RUBYGEMS environment variable (to any non-nil value). === Proxies and locations This is probably only interesting to you if you use custom formatters. Formatters now receive Spec::Example::ExampleGroupProxy and Spec::Example::ExampleGroup objects with cohesive APIs for reporting. See the RDoc for those classes and Spec::Runner::Formatter::BaseFormatter for more information. == What's new === The new matcher DSL works with test/unit (without the rest of rspec) We'll be separating this out to its own gem for rspec 2.0, but for now, just install rspec >= 1.2.1 and add the following to your test_helper file: require 'spec/expectations' class Test::Unit::TestCase include Spec::Matchers end This will add should() and should_not() to your objects, make all of rspec's built-in matchers available to your tests, INCLUDING rspec's DSL for creating matchers (see below, under Upgrade to rspec-1.2.0) === debugger If you have ruby-debug installed, you can set a breakpoint by adding debugger() in your code: # some code ..... debugger # some more code .... ... and using the --debugger or -u command line option. spec path/to/file.rb --debugger = Upgrade to rspec-1.2.0 == What's Changed === WARNINGS * If you use the ruby command to run specs instead of the spec command, you'll need to require 'spec/autorun' or they won't run. This won't affect you if you use the spec command or the Spec::Rake::SpecTask that ships with RSpec. * require 'spec/test/unit' to invoke test/unit interop if you're using RSpec's core (this is handled implicitly with spec-rails) * setup and teardown are gone - use before and after instead * you can still use setup and teardown if you're using Test::Unit::TestCase as the base ExampleGroup class (which is implicit in rspec-rails) * The matcher protocol has been improved. The old protocol is still supported, but we added support for two new methods that speak a bit more clearly: failure_message => failure_message_for_should negative_failure_message => failure_message_for_should_not * All references to rubygems have been removed from within rspec's code. * See http://gist.github.com/54177 for rationale and suggestions on alternative approaches to loading rubygems == What's New === Ruby 1.9 RSpec now works with Ruby 1.9.1. See http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/ruby-191 for useful information. === Improved heckle integration RSpec works with heckle again! Gotta use heckle >= 1.4.2 for this to work though, and it only works with ruby-1.8.6 and 1.8.7 (heckle doesn't support 1.9.1 yet). [sudo] gem install heckle --version ">=1.4.2" spec spec/game/mastermind.rb --heckle Game::Mastermind === New Matcher DSL We've added a new DSL for generating custom matchers very simply and cleanly. We'll still support the simple_matcher method, so never fear if you're using that, but we recommend that you start developing your new matchers with this new syntax. Spec::Matchers.create do :be_a_multiple_of |smaller| match do |bigger| bigger % smaller == 0 end end 9.should be_a_multiple_of(3) See features/matchers/create_matcher.feature for more examples
