rspec users - Nov 2009 - question

Perhaps it would be useful to do some parsing of the messages...

  it "should raise an Exception if record is invalid" do

 end

  # expects that block to raise
Thoughts?
-r

Cool idea at first blush, but riddled with problems, not the least of which
is that there are likely thousands of examples that would suddenly start
failing because they start with "should raise an Exception .." and
they
don''t raise an exception :)

Seems like an interesting idea to explore in a new framework, but probably
not in RSpec.

Cheers,
David
