rspec users - Aug 2009 - Change in -l command line option when line number is inside a describe block?

All,

I often run specs from inside of TextMate, using the RSpec bundle.
When the selection is inside of an example, I can run just that
example using the RSpec bundle''s "Run Single Example" script,
which I
assume ends up calling spec with a -l command line option ("line
number").

Until a few versions ago (I don''t know precisely when and I''m
using
1.1.12), with a selection that''s inside a describe block (but outside
of any specific example block), "Run Single Example" would run all of
the examples inside of that describe block--a very nice feature that I
used all the time. In 1.1.12, it runs just the examples at the "root"
of the file, in the top-most describe block, regardless of where the
selection is.

Was this an intentional change? Or, should I open up a ticket to
restore this behavior?

Thanks.

Ed

It was unintentional but has since been fixed. If you can upgrade to
1.2.8 (current), that would be great.

I lied--I''m running 1.2.7, but I''m happy that this was fixed
in 1.2.8!

Thanks, David.
