Re: [rspec-users] What are the common causes of rspec hanging?

You might want to try running the specs with --format specdoc so you can do a better post mortem. Also remember you can look at log/test.log to see what was happening when it hung. On 8 May 2010, at 20:59, RFine wrote: > I'm responsible for a relatively large RoR application, and have been > st

Re: [rspec-users] How do I improve the readability of my specs

e to that in the future. Now THAT would be DRY. Great explanation David. There's a slightly different point about this, which is that in the BDD world we aspire to build things from the "outside in". These splendid methods that automatically generate specdoc from code are great in simple cases, but very often it's advisable to start by writing a plain-english description of what you're setting out to do before you write any code. Jumping straight in to writing the code (the solution) without clearly having stated the goal can mean you miss a chance to get insights into your design. cheers, Matt http://blog.mattwynne.net ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
