rspec users - Feb 2007 - Using a subversion repository to spec in a rails app

Is it a bad practice to use a subversion repository to the trunk of  
rspec and rspec_on_rails?  Or rather, is it doomed to fail, since my  
gem will always be out of date?

I know I can''t use spec, installed from gem,s if I have the latest  
revision of rspec and rspec_on_rails checked into my plugins  
directory.  But I should still be able to use it with the --drb  
option, correct?

I''m having a new set of bugs with my repository update to Revision  
1539...

I recommend installing a compatible set of RSpec/Rspec on Rails in
plugins (same revision)
Preferrably a tagged revision. Try 0.8RC1.

Then use the spec command under plugins: vendor/plugins/rspec/bin/spec

Is there any need for a gem if I run spec through this path?  I''m not  
using rspec for any other projects.

Thanks for all of your help.

Best Regards,

I usually add a modified copy of vendor/plugins/rspec/bin/spec to
script/, so I can do this:

script/rails_spec_server &
script/spec spec --drb

Just make sure you change the second line to this:

$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) +
"/../vendor/plugins/rspec/lib"))

As of the current trunk, no, but there has been in the past so you may
just want to give it a try.

What is the svn path for the tagged RC1 revision?

I''m currently using piston to copy edge rspec/rspec_on_rails into
vendor/plugins without requiring the gem.  Works great!
