Summary: without or not params matcher

Initial Comment:
Would be nice if you could do



MyClass.expects(:create!).without(hasKey(:property1))



or something like



MyClass.expects(:create!).with(not(hasKey(:property1)))



MyClass.expects(:create!).with(not.hasKey(:property1)))



But you can''t use not because not is a ruby keyword.



The Not Matcher is just something like:



class Not # :nodoc:



  def initialize(matcher)

    @matcher = matcher

  end



  def ==(parameter)

    !(matcher == parameter)

  end



  def mocha_inspect

    "not(#{@matcher.mocha_inspect})"

  end



end

Message:
Hi Jerry,



Thanks for the suggestions. I had wanted to add not() a while ago, but ran
into the keyword issue. I''ve just committed revision 191 with Not()
instead.
It isn''t great, but it''s the best I can think of at the
moment. What do you
think?



I don''t think the without() works because you may want to negate only
some
of your matchers.



Cheers, James.
