Upgrading to RSpec 0.9.4Edit

Created , updated

Pre-testing

First double check that all specs are passing for Walrus. This is a good check because there are a lot of specifications, many of them containing numerous assertions:

# from the top-level directory of the Walrus source tree:
rake spec

Download and install

sudo gem install rspec

Rails

I have a Rails project where rspec is installed as a plug-in. The --force switch is necessary in order to install over the previously installed copy:

# from inside the Rails application top-level directory
script/plugin install --force svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_0_9_4/rspec
script/plugin install --force svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_0_9_4/rspec_on_rails

Notes for 0.9.4

This release introduces massive improvements to Spec::Ui - the user interface functional testing extension to RSpec. There are also some minor bug fixes to the RSpec core.

Changelog for 0.9.4

  • Massive improvements to Spec::Ui. Complete support for all Watir’s ie.xxx(how, what) methods. Inline screenshots and HTML.
  • Reactivated --timeout, which had mysteriously been deactivated in a recent release.
  • Fixed #10669 Kernel#describe override does not cover Kernel#context
  • Applied #10636 Added spec for OptionParser in Runner (Patch from Scott Taylor)
  • Added #10516 should_include should be able to accept multiple items
  • Applied #10631 redirect_to matcher doesn’t respect request.host (Patch from Tim Lucas)
  • Each formatter now flushes their own IO. This is to avoid buffering of output.
  • Fixed #10670 IVarProxy#delete raises exception when instance variable does not exist
