I hope nobody takes this message too curtly -- I'm just trying to be as
brief, and yet as informative, as possible, as per the guidelines on the
RSpec contact website.
Can anyone assist? Thanks!
### Problem:
Potential bug in RSpec. nil#should always passes the test. It should
succeed if, and only if, its boolean expression is true, as it would for any
other expression.
To reproduce, please find multiplexed in this message the following
components:
* phased_version_spec.rb file contents
* phased_version.rb file contents
* RSpec version
* Command executed to reproduce the error
* Generated output.
* Expectations.
* Gem listing.
### In file phased_version_spec.rb:
#!/usr/bin/env spec
require 'phased_version'
module M
describe M::PhasedVersion, "freshly created" do
before(:each) do
@v = M::PhasedVersion.new
end
it "should parse a phase" do
@v.parse_string("6.16.7-pre")
(@v.phase).should.eql? "pre"
# HUH?
# (@v.phase = nil) implies ((@v.phase).should.eql? "pre") =
(nil.should.eql? "pre") implies (this should fail the test!)
end
end
end
### In file phased_version.rb:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
module M
class PhasedVersion
def parse_string aString
@str = aString
end
attr_reader :phase
def initialize
@str = nil
@phase = nil
end
end
End
### RSpec Version: 1.2.7
### Command: spec phased_version_spec.rb
### No errors generated; indeed, this is the problem!
