rspec users - Apr 2010 - Rspec and Selenium Question

So I have created a number of rspec test using the selenium ruby client.   

The problem is I can not figure out a easy way to say run all the test I have on
each browser I want to support.   The current work around I have is to use and
environment variable and have the specs look at a config file to find the
browser information it is suppose to use.     But this requires running spec for
each change to the environment.

What I really want to do is a way to loop over all the test in a example file
and say do it for each on of these configurations.

I am using the most recent version of rspec.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you running on a *nix box?  You could always just use a bash
one-liner, or script

for env in ie firefox opera ; do rspec ENV=$env ; spec ; done
