Hi there.
My understanding (which is limited) is that rspec uses at_exit to run its
specs. I don't really know why - could somoene explain?
My problem with this behaviour is that I would like the running of a spec to
start an instance of solr (using Sunspot) if one is not running. The problem

Set an expectation that do_something should be called once. Then create a
new Foo.
With the method chain set an expectation that your chained method should be
called, then call the original method. You should be able to check that the
original method is passed as a param.

When doing BDD, especially at the start, I found it really easy to write

Whilst its very noble to try and follow the ruby gems document to the
letter, some consideration has to be given to the overall effect of rapidly
changing major version numbers on the project. RSpec has a very large user
base, a close tie in with Rails major versions, in particular the idea to
Rails 3 should use RSpec 2, and a history of changing major versions very
infrequently with major consequences to the vast majority of users. This I
think is a fair assessment of RSpec's context re version numbers. To move to
RSpec 3, for such a small change would be completely out of character for
the project. To end up in 4 months time with RSpec 9 would be very
detrimental to the projects reputation.
So I think the pragmatic approach is a minor release with a big caveat in
the history and a big announcement on the mailing list

+1 for the many controllers for one model pattern, you can really simplify
controllers with this approach. Having a separate view hierarchy for each of
these controllers also makes for simpler views, with less logic. However you
have be very disciplined with your view partials, or the number of files can
get a bit confusing

Finally an important lesson is that your tests being green is really not
that important. Its much more important that tests

Your test is telling you your markup sux (thats why its so difficult to
test). So instead of making the test do something really difficult, listen
to your test and improve your code.

Assuming you have a multi-step wizard like thing, with lots of different
states and paths through it. What approach would your use to write a feature
for it? What I want to do is do the separate states and then reuse these
things in more complex scenarios that cover paths. For example
Scenario: Sta

to represent or formulate.
I can see that wanting this construct, could indicate a smell maybe a badly
worded story - i.e. a conjunction step.

However we only have 'And' available in stories, do we need 'Or'?

Oh I was definitely into theoretical speculation here :) - haven't got a
particular case at the moment

Is there any way to do
foo.should (be_nil || be_empty)
in rspec.
Thanks in advance

Sweet I'm using rails so will give it a go. Any ideas about the general
case, is making a custom matcher the (only) way to go?

What you are suggesting here changing your api to make it easier to refactor
your api. Your trying to do this by
1) Generalising the descriptivness of the api
2) Reducing the number of calls to your api
Both of these are not particularly good ideas
1) Generalising your api, reduces it descriptiv
l api that is clear and simple and
consequently easier to refactor when the need arises

I'm working on writing features for a wizard. The wizard collects
information from a number of different forms, and you can navigate through
it in a number of ways. Anyhow one of these forms is a customer form
collecting name, and email.
In the context of the wizard I feel that the following scena
ow level (dare I say unit) features, which have the benefit of clearly
documenting intention in a way that any other test mechanism I've seen so
far cannot.
The brain dump is much appreciated and helps
Cheers

early. If something is in the right place is
much easier to find out what it is trying to do. Maybe there is a need
for a feature hierarchy in the same way there is a test heirarchy ...

A couple of tips may help here.
1) You can debug features by putting 'debugger' in the step file. Just
make sure there is a line after debugger
e.g
...
debugger
response
end
If there's nothing after debugger you will stop in the cucumber code,
which is not what you want.
2) You can also pu
What you're doing here is writing imperative features. Writing
declarative features might be a better alternative. Instead of
Given I am on the new entity page
When I fill in a textbox labelled "Common Name" with "My New Entity"
And I fill in a textbox labelled "Full Legal Name:" with "My N

Don't know if this is related, but webrat 0.3.4 introduced a bug with

Also occasionally you may want to use a when as a given. Cucumber
doesn't actually use the given|when|then|and to differentiate steps,
just the regex that comes after them. Sometimes I feel that it makes
sense as in the following examples
When I log in as Fred
Given I log in as F
DOH
I thinks convention = I think this convention
