Definitely by the end of November.
Likely by mid-November.
Hopefully in a matter of days.
The next release will be 1.1.0.
We''re going to a release model in which 1.odd.x will be considered
experimental. This means that while we will document

Preferred mock framework
Hi
In light of the fact that RSpec mocks are going into maintenance mode
in the near future, I was wondering what everyone was switching to.
I liked the look of FlexMock most, so gave that a shot. However,
there''s a few things that don''t work well with RSpec due to the
traditional differences in the way Test::Unit cases are written vs
RSpec specs. (One spec per

RSpec Texmate Bundle errors
I''ve the same problem as Alastair when running rspec command :

Am I missing something with Heckle?
Hi
I can''t get heckle working. In fact, I''ve built an example so simple
that it either shows a bug, or I am being really, REALLY stupid.
Heckle does not appear to support RSpec directly, so I''m trying to use
spec --heckle (RSpec trunk as of 10 mins ago, Heckle 1.4.1). I''ve
constructed this pair of sample files:

How is everyone structuring stories?
Bleeding-edge story-writers,
How are you structuring your specs?
I am working on a new project and tried this:
./lib
./blah
./spec
./blah
./stories
But it breaks autotest, so I moved stories parallel to lib and spec.
Also what about suffixes?
I have adopted "xyz_story_spec.rb", and "xyz.story" for the time
being, with the line

Weird failing spec
Hi guys,
I have a weird failing spec, for which I just cannot figure out the
reason of failure. I''m now rewriting my controller specs based on the
advice of David and Ashley, and I got stuck on this (see: [rspec-
users] specing rescue, ensure and else blocks of an Exception).

TextMate bundle in MacroMates repo
Hi
Recently I sent a modified version of the GetBundle bundle to
textmate-dev. It was failing because the RSpec bundle was from
another repo (ie RubyForge). One of the replies said that the RSpec
bundle was now in the MacroMates repo, which it is. Is that an
officially handled thing? If so, what version of the RSpec bundle is
being maintained there - CURRENT? It''s

RSpec book?
<http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10368>
Came across this as a stub page browsing Amazon UK. This is good
news! I''m surprised it hasn''t been discussed on the list before.
Was Chad keeping it a secret?
I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that

Assumption tests
Hi all,
I''ve been thinking about the whole validator/relationship speccing
issue, and I came up with a suggestion, which I''d love to get some
feedback on.

A better way to stub out constants
Hi
Something that''s gnawing at me... to avoid using the SQLite3 gem I''m
stubbing it out like this:
before(:each) do
@database = mock("SQLite3 database")
SQLite3 = Module.new
SQLite3::Database = Class.new
SQLite3::Database.stub!(:new).and_return(@database)
end
But then it keeps nagging me:

How do you specify a rubygem is being required?
Hi
I''m loading a gem on demand but can''t find a way to spec it.
Assuming rubygems is already loaded, I assumed the following would work:
describe SqliteConnection, " class" do
it "should require ''sqlite3''" do
Kernel.should_receive(:require).with("sqlite3")
SqliteConnection.new
end

changes to Story Runner steps
Hi all,
The following only affects people who have bravely begun to experiment
with the 2 day-old plain text story runner and definable groups of
steps.
For those who fit that bill, I just committed a few changes that will
require you to make changes to your code.
The StepMatchers class is now the StepGroup class.

Reason for _spec.rb convention
Hi
Easy one - I just wondered why all spec files for rspec_on_rails end
"_spec.rb" instead of just ".rb"? They are all inside the spec
folder so surely the fact they are specs is implicit?

"they" synonym for "it"?
I''ve noticed that I phrase a lot of shared behaviours in plural, eg
describe "All payment_details views"
How about a "they" alias to "it" so you can write
describe "All payment_details views", :shared => true do
they "should have a card number field" do
# ...
end
end
WDYT?

new --pattern option
Hello.
You''re saying that:
To get rspec to behave as it did before this change, use this:
--pattern "**/*.rb"
I tried like this (rspec 1.03) and it wasn''t same as before (rspec 1.08).
Now it also loads all other files in current directory and in all
subdirectories and not only from directory and subdirectories given to spec
as a parameter.
So, for example, I have

specing rescue, ensure and else blocks of an Exception
Greetings,
I''m using rspec with rcov for my applications and there is one issue
which I cannot solve nor can find any proper information regarding
it: specing what is in a rescue block in case of an exception.
I''m using Ruby on Rails and I usually make use of exceptions in my
controllers, like the following example:
def action
@foo = Foo.find(1)
