rspec users - Jan 2011 - Writing a matcher that accepts a block

Hi all,

I''m trying to emulate the have_tag matcher that used to be in
rspec-rails.
How would I do that with the rspec 2 interface?

html.should have_tag("div") do
 with_tag("span")
end

RSpec::Matchers.define won''t let me pass in a block. I could extend the
RSpec::Matchers module but I''m not sure if that''s the way to
do it anymore.
Any guidance would be helpful!

I''d recommend not doing this. Webrat and Capybara matchers both work
very well for this and there is no need to roll your own by hacking RSpec.

html.should have_selector("div span")

FWIW,

Yah I know. They''re not available in view tests. Someone had posted a 
question about this on the Capybara users group and the response was to 
write your own.

Anyways I got it working, so no need for help.
