rspec users - Nov 2010 - Custom File List for Rails 3 Spec Task

I have some javascript specs (using the jspec javascript framework) in my rails
3 project, living in the spec/javascript directory.  How can I exclude the ruby
files in the jspec project from being run when I run "rake spec"?

RSpec::Core::RakeTask used to take a file list (which was usually generated with
a glob pattern and an explicit call to Dir.glob).  Now it only takes a glob
pattern:

http://rdoc.info/github/rspec/rspec-core/master/RSpec/Core/RakeTask#pattern-instance_method

So how am I supposed to express the following in one glob pattern?

Dir.glob("spec/**/*_spec.rb") -
Dir.glob("spec/javascript/**/*_spec.rb")

Or is there a better way that I''m missing entirely,

Best,

Scott

Hey Scott,

Something like: 
"spec/{models,views,controllers,helpers,requests}/**/*_spec.rb"

You''d have to include any dirs I left out (if you have any others) in
the curly brackets. Do you think that''s sufficient?

Cheers,
David

Thanks David.  I didn''t realize Dir.glob was so capable.

Here''s what I ended up coming up with.  Notice that I had to remove the
rspec task as it was previously defined (by rspec itself):
