Hey, we''re currently using shoulda (http://dev.thoughtbot.com/ shoulda/) on a project and I saw some things that would be really nice to see in rspec, namely the should_ methods, and especially the should_be_restful method.

I''m working on a series going over the source code for rspec, and I ran into something interesting with ExampleGroup and SharedExampleGroup. I was wondering if anyone could shed light on it. [NOTE: I''m working through the code for my own edification in learning Ruby. Ruby has some features that I think are incredibly cool, so I''m using a concrete implementation (RSpec)

Hi, I''m trying the specs for restful_authentication I found here http://jonathan.tron.name/articles/2007/01/02/rspec-on-rails-restful- authentication It seems to use custom .should methods: should_eql, should_be_an_instance_of, should_redirect_to, should_be_success, should_not_be_nil, should_be_nil, should_not_be_nil, should_be_empty, should_be_success, should_not_change, and

Hi, I would like to test a sorting method that is in the user model, it''s a class method called search.

How would I go about writing specs for a lib, particularly one with all protected and private methods. I''m trying to spec the AuthenticatedSystem library from the rails restful_authentication plugin: http://pastie.caboo.se/103625 Also, when you''re mocking objects, a side-effect is helping you define the api of the object.
