rspec users - Dec 2009 - Example vs ExampleProxy

Hey all,

I''m working on bring DeepTest up to compatibility with rspec 1.2.9 in  
order to parallelize tests, and hit a few roadblocks after 1.1.12.  
Specifically, I was wondering about ExampleProxy (which I know now is  
for the custom formatter) vs Example. Previously I would call run() on  
an Example, but that''s no longer a method on the ExampleProxy objects  
- is there a way to grab the Example object from an ExampleProxy, or  
am I going about this the wrong way(TM)?

Thanks for your help.

Any formatter - builtin or custom.

The proxies don''t have refs back to the examples by design. Need to
find a means of accessing the examples directly, not their proxies.

Unfortunately, there is not really a good extension point for this
right now. I''ll add one for the next release, but in the mean time
you''ll need to replace line 30 in deep_test/spec/runner.rb with
something like this:

        examples = example_groups.map do |g|
          proxies = g.send(:examples_to_run)
          proxies.map {|p| g.new(p, &g.example_implementations[p])}
        end.flatten

That''s untested, but should give you the basic idea. If this can wait
a bit, let''s coordinate off list and work out a good extension point -
I''ll do a release in the next week or so that exposes it and you can
follow up w/ your release. Good?

Cheers,
David
