rspec users - Jun 2010 - spec.opts is deprecated - Using options file with RSpec 2

Using RSpec 2 beta.

$ rspec spec

* spec/spec.opts is deprecated.
* please use .rspec or ~/.rspec instead.

I tried renaming the file to .rspec but then it has no effect!

# spec/.rspec
--format nested
--color

It works if I copy it to ~/.rspec and it turns out, also if I
copy .rspec to the root of my application ;)

That''s what ".rspec" means. I''ll change it to
./.rspec to make that more clear.

Thanks ;)

I also tried to follow the instructions on using autospec/autotest,
first from the RSpec book then from instructions found on the net.

I managed to do the following so far:

# config/cucumber.yml
default: --format profile features
html_report: --format progress --format html --
out=features_report.html features

User specific
# ~/.autotest
require ''autotest/fsevent''
require ''autotest/growl''

# Skip some paths
Autotest.add_hook :initialize do |autotest|
  %w{.git .DS_Store ._* vendor}.each { |exception|
autotest.add_exception(exception) }
  false
end

Project specific
/.autotest
Autotest.add_hook(:initialize) {|at|
  at.add_exception %r{^\.git}  # ignore Version Control System
  at.add_exception %r{^./tmp}  # ignore temp files, lest autotest will
run again, and again...
  #  at.clear_mappings         # take out the default (test/test*rb)
  at.add_mapping(%r{^lib/.*\.rb$}) {|f, _|
    Dir[''spec/**/*.rb'']
  }
  nil
}

$ autotest
loading autotest/cucumber
style: Cucumber
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the default profile...

But now it only outputs Cucumber feature results.

How do I instruct it to ignore Cucumber for the time being and report
only on my RSpec 2 specs in my spec dir?

Thanks!
