rspec users - Sep 2007 - False Positives and Autotest on New Folders

False Positives
I just discovered how easy it was to create a false positive when I, trying
my first RSpec test, did this:
   ob.should eql?(''foo'')
instead of:
   ob.should eql(''foo'')
or:
   ob.should == ''foo''

As far as I can see, this is roughly equivalent to:
  ob.should false

Neither eql?(''foo'') nor false causes the spec to fail; this is
worrisome, as
I can imagine accidentally including that ? again; and I''d hate it to
mask a
test failure.

Autotest
Out of curiosity, does anyone know how to get autotest to pick up new
folders under spec/?  Seems like I might have to modify rails_rspec.rb in
lib/autotest.  We were considering separating our acceptance tests from the
rest.

You could either modify rails_rspec.rb, or you could add a .autotest
file in the project root and rewrite the mappings there. See autotests
docs for how to do that (look for info on hooks).

Unfortunately when rails_rspec.rb runs, it seems to write over anything
established in .autotest.  Should I file a bug on that as well?
