Yeah I definitely agree that this should change. It's actually bitten me a couple of times where I, when writing my initial tests, would forget to write the XML view, but the test still passed because it rendered the HTML template. Bad Rails! Bad! Would love to see this implemented to be more

[Rails-core] Integrity for CI instead of CC.rb?

Hey guys and gals, I suggested that perhaps we should use Integrity (http://github.com/foca/integrity) for the CI for Rails rather than CC.rb. DHH said he was all for it, but I should bring it before you all before he made a decision. So, here's why I like Integrity: 1. It needs less hacking t

I feel your pain here...perhaps it would be better if keywords were used to remove things from the normal report and put them only in the reports where they belong (e.g., undocumented == the "Undocumented Patches", same with untested, etc.). That way it's not "closed" but the submitter is told th
