rspec users - Nov 2008 - Skipped steps running stealthily

I''ve just noticed that my "skipped" steps are actually
running, but
their errors are being swallowed.  They can print to the screen,
however.  Is that intentional?  It''s certainly not what I was
expecting.  I assumed skipped steps were...skipped.

Swallowing the errors is intentional, because once a previous step is
either pending or failing, subsequent failures/successes don''t really
mean anything.

Perhaps the thing to do is really skip them. If you think that is the
way to go, please add a ticket.

Another possibility would be to really skip these by default, but have
a flag that runs and reports all steps (even the ones that are
currently skipped). I can imagine that this would be useful in
debugging, but I wouldn''t want it to be the default because of the
unnecessary noise it would create most of the time.

WDYT?
