rspec users - Mar 2011 - Are there any ways to detect spec faults during a run?

Hi,
Is there a way to detect if an example has failed? Something like a:
"example_failed?" method.
In my case I need to dump some information, i.e trace and error log, to be
used when analyzing what
went wrong in the example. I''m thinking about putting it in a
after(:each)
{}.

after(:each) won''t work because failures aren''t actually
reported out until all of the after hooks are processed.

Your best bet is a custom formatter. See:

http://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-core/v/2-5/dir/command-line/format-option

HTH,
David

Thanks for the answer David!

It can be done via a custom formatter but then flexibility will be lost as
well as visibility.
It would really be handy to have this feature. Is there any other way of
doing it? Is it possible to
patch into RSpec in any way? What about after(:each).failure as a new
feature in RSpec?

What do you mean by "flexibility will be lost"?

Also, please bottom-post (or inline-post) instead of top-posting [1], especially
if that has already been established for the conversation.

Cheers,
David

  Hi!

  If having the option to ask if a fault has occurred  in a scenario, the
measure to be taken upon detection is visible ie. in the spec file and the
action can be tailored depending on whats on
  test. That''s what I mean with flexibility.

    Cheers
    Magnus
