rspec users - Jun 2010 - Programmatically counting RSpec tests?

If I have an object `obj` that is a SpecTask, and subsequently invoke
it, is there a way to programmatically determine the number of tests
that were successful, failed, and pending as a result of running that
SpecTask?

You could write a custom reporter to collect that information. Which version of
rspec are you using?

This is RSpec 1.3.0.

Take a look at http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/custom-formatters

Also:
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.3.0/classes/Spec/Runner/Formatter/BaseFormatter.html

Let us know if you have any questions

Cheers,
David

This looks pretty straightforward. I do wish it were possible to
access the statistical data after the test rather than having to
capture and process it inline via the formatter, but I think this will
do. Thank you for your time, David.

This is open source. Your wish is your command. The rspec-2 architecture should
make it easier to get what you want. Feel free to look it over and offer up a
patch.
