rspec users - Dec 2010 - Use filters to wrap examples into a pending block?

Hi all,

I was wonder whether something like the following is possible in RSpec?

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.filter_examples : pending_for_some_reason => lambda {|example|
    pending "This example is failing due to upgrade of x" do
       example.call
    end
  }
end

it "should succeed, but probably doesn''t yet",
:pending_for_some_reason =>
true do
   raise "fail"
end

I''m currently working on a library that has many failing specs due to
an
upgrade of a dependency. It would be nice if a could just flag examples that
are failing due to that change without having to copy paste the pending
block.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Found the answer by looking at the features:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.around do |example|
    if example.metadata.has_key?(:broken)
      pending "is broken since change from 3.0.0.beta4 to 3.0.3" do
        example.call
      end
    end
  end
end

Nice :-)

Oh and don''t forget the ''else'' part:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.around do |example|
    if example.metadata.has_key?(:broken)
      pending "is broken since change from 3.0.0.beta4 to 3.0.3" do
        example.call
      end
    else
      example.call
    end
  end
end

Suddenly my test suite was mega fast and I had no failing specs... oops :-)

Cheers
