rspec users - Mar 2007 - spec.opts: questions about formatters, etc.

Questions concerning spec.opts:

1.  Am I correct in believing that each option should go on a  
separate line of spec.opts in the rails spec directory?  If this is  
so, why is it so?

2.  Using a formatter in spec.opts doesn''t seem to work.  Here is my  
spec.opts file:

--colour
-f s

and this is what happens when I run the rake task:

Couldn''t find formatter class  s
Make sure the --require option is specified *before* --format

Scott,

I use -cfs in my spec.opts (when does the same as --colour -f s) and
it works great.  I''m not sure about the single/multi-line bits though.

It''s so simply because I was lazy when implementing it.
Please file an RFE if you want to be able to put them all on one line.

I ran into this problem recently. I solved it like this:

--colour
--format
specdoc

I thought I''d write it all out since it was going in spec.opts and  
probably wouldn''t be looked at again for quite some time.
