rspec users - Jul 2009 - error message feedback

Question.

Currently with this test:

 instance.splatted3().should raise_error(ArgumentError)

if it''s broken, and returns [] instead of raising appropriately,
currently the error reported is:

expected ArgumentError, got #<NoMethodError: undefined method `call''
for []:Array>

shouldn''t this have been reported as

expected ArgumentError, got []

?
Much thanks.

This should be:

  lambda { instance.splatted3() }.should raise_error(ArgumentError)

See http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.2.8/classes/Spec/Matchers.html#M000450
for more info.
