rspec users - Oct 2011 - Database custom formatter

I am trying to write a custom formatter to update a database record based on 
example results. Having a lot of trouble, so I thought to ask if anyone has 
a custom formatter that writes results to a database or outputs results in 
JSON or some other programmatic format. A working example will go a long way 
in helping me work thru my own use case.

Thanks

There are RSpec''s own formatters:
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/tree/master/lib/rspec/core/formatters

And also Fuubar, an external one:
https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/fuubar

I''m about to start work on a JSON formatter. (I need it for a project
where
I''m executing RSpec on a server and shipping it down to a JS/HTML
client
for http://testfirst.org .) Any advice other than "look at 
lib/rspec/core/formatters/*.rb" before I start?

I can add another example, that outputs HTML/JSON from a formatter.

https://github.com/zipmark/rspec_api_documentation/blob/master/lib/rspec_api_documentation/api_formatter.rb

This formatter works in concert with a DSL built on top of RSpec to
output HTTP API documentation based on the test examples. The code for
this formatter is split up between a number of classes. Of note are
ApiFormatter, ApiDocumentation, Example, and Index.

HTH,
