The following trick, calling "pending" from inside the before block,

this behaviour going forward? What do you think?

describe 'Something' do

    if required_tools_not_installed
      pending 'not running on this platform'
    end
  end

  it 'should do something' do
    1.should == 1

Hi Wincent

How about wrapping it this way instead...

 describe 'Something' do
   if required_tools_installed
     it 'should do something' do
       1.should == 1
     end
   end
 end

That will make them invisible (for better or worse).

Yeah, that's another way of doing it.

How come you need this?  Is what you really need to spec that the tool
itself degrades gracefully? eg

 describe 'Something' do
   if required_tools_installed
     it 'should do something' do
       1.should == 1
     end
   else
     it 'should inform the user the tool is missing'
   end
 end

No, it's actually a case of having a bunch of Java junk installed on my local system which I can use to do extended testing of things like feed validity on this machine, while on the server I don't have (and can't install) the Java stuff so would like to skip those specs.

Cheers,
Wincent
