We''re pleased to announce the release of rspec-2.7.0. Release notes for
each
gem are listed below, but here are a couple of highlights:
## Just type `rspec`
With the the 2.7.0 release, if you keep all of your specs in the conventional
`spec` directory, you don''t need to follow the `rspec` command with a
path.
Just type `rspec`.
If you keep your specs in a different directory, just set the `--default_path`
option to that directory on the command line, or in a `.rspec` config file.
## The rake task now lets Bundler manage Bundler
The `RSpec::Core::RakeTask` invokes the `rspec` command in a subshell. In
recent releases, it assumed that you wanted it prefixed with `bundle exec` if
it saw a `Gemfile`. We then added `gemfile` and `skip_bundler` options to the
task, so you could manage this in different ways.
It turns out that Bundler manages this quite well without any help from RSpec.
If you activate Bundler in the parent shell, via the command line or
`Bundler.setup`, it sets environment variables that activate Bundler in the
subshell with the correct gemfile.
The `gemfile` and `skip_bundler` options are therefore deprecated and have no
effect.
## Release Notes
### rspec-core-2.7.0
[full changelog](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/compare/v2.6.4...v2.7.0)
NOTE: RSpec''s release policy dictates that there should not be any
backward
incompatible changes in minor releases, but we''re making an exception
to
release a change to how RSpec interacts with other command line tools.
As of 2.7.0, you must explicity `require "rspec/autorun"` unless you
use the
`rspec` command (which already does this for you).
