rspec users - Sep 2011 - rspec rake task + bundler: feedback requested

Hey folks,

RSpec''s assumption that the existence of a Gemfile means you want to
use Bundler to configure runtime environment is flawed. We added a skip_bundler
option to the rake task, but that was a temporary hack to get us through a
release without breaking existing suites.

This still presents a problem for anyone who doesn''t have Bundler
installed, and is contributing to an open source project that does use Bundler
for installing gems as a convenience, but doesn''t need it for the
runtime environment. I''m sure there are other cases.

If this topic interests you, please take a look at
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues/454 and my proposed fix at
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/commit/f90b9f5c6ce5efdfb5cf18efbe27adf87d0fa848.
I think this is a good solution to the problem, but I want to get some feedback
before merging this to master.

Please comment in the issue and/or the commit on http://github.com/ rather than
here. I''d like to keep the conversation in one place.

Thanks,
David
