Re: [rspec-users] Why RSpec?

I am also having same question that i can't find the reason why i should go for RSpec instead of Test/Unit. There is no compelling reason / advantage offered by RSpec except semantics. Is RSpec all about different syntax??? Thanks in advance for clarifying it??? _

[rspec-users] Tests for my gem cannot find classes in gems lib directory ..

I am writing a gem and using RSpec to drive my development. However, whenever I describe a class within the gems lib I get an uninitialized constant error. I am placing my folder structure, spec.rake and first spec below. I feel I must be missing something obvious. Additionally, I did o
