rspec users - Feb 2008 - Passing options into Story Runner (like --format)

Hey,

I''ve been trying to hook in the HTML formatter for story output, with  
zero success - passing the --format option to me stories/all.rb  
script was doing nothing. So, I slapped in some puts statements and  
figured out that ARGV was getting cleared before  
Spec::Story::Runner.run_options was ever being called... I broke out  
the debugger and discovered that this is happening because when spec/ 
rails/story_adapter is required, the extension of  
Test::Unit::TestCase with Spec::Example::ExampleGroupMethods in spec/ 
interop/test/unit/testcase.rb means that the  
Spec::Rails::Example::RailsExampleGroup inheritance of  
Test::Unit::TestCase causes   
Spec::Example::ExampleGroupMethods.inherited to fire, which winds up  
calling Spec::Example::ExampleGroupMethods#inherited, which calls  
rspec_options, which consumes ARGV and clears it out.

Given that you then end up with a globally accessible  
Spec::Runner::Options instance, is there any reason for  
Spec::Story::Runner.run_options, since it tries to do exactly the  
same thing?

I''m only asking in case I''m missing something obvious,
behaviour-
wise. Otherwise I''ll look into fixing it and post a patch to Lighthouse
