[rspec-users] JRuby and RSpec for Rails

Hi friends.

I have a Rails project I''m working on that uses JRuby, and
consequently I use a few Java libs in this project. I often don''t want
to run these examples when I''m using Autospec, nor do I necessarily
want to use JRuby during testing as it''s much slower than MRI for
specs.

I went ahead and cordoned off my specs into their own subdirectory in
the main "spec" directory hoping this would shield them from running
when I invoke "rake spec". This does not seem to be the case though. I
figure the next logical thing to do would be to have my own custom
"describe" blocks that informed RSpec that I want to skip them unless
RUBY_PLATFORM is set to "java".

Does this sound like a reasonable strategy? I''m not really sure how to
implement the "skip me if I''m not being run with JRuby" part
of this
strategy. I could use some advice.

Thank you,

James

It seems a reasonable approach ... Have you looked at Celerity to drive
the app? From jRuby?
