Yes, I figured out that #contain was the culprit when I discovered that this worked: fx_doc.xpath('//rdf:RDF/xmlns:channel/xmlns:title').to_s.should \ ==(expected) Ugly, to me, but it works so the problem is not RSpec. Strangely, however, this construct also failed: fx_doc.xpath('//rdf:RDF/xmlns:channel/xmlns:title').to_s.should \ =~(expected) I am not throwing out RSpec or using it any less. I just had to get around a specific problem and took the first route I found that worked. > In the mean time, I'm not sure what better message we can give beyond > "compared using .equal?" without getting into a long treatise on > equality in Ruby, which seems out of place in a failure message. How about: expected "<title>Bank of Canada: Noon Foreign Exchange Rates</title>" got "<title>Bank of Canada: Noon Foreign Exchange Rates</title>" (equal?: expected object is not the object returned, did you mean '==') (Spec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
