36 Textmate Bundle users - this release adds a new RSpec bundle that highlights describe, it, before and after and
37 provides navigation to descriptions and examples (rather than classes and methods). When you first install this,
38 it is going to try to hijack all of your .rb files. All you need to do is open a .rb file that does not end with
39 'spec.rb' and change the bundle selection from RSpec to Ruby. TextMate will do the right thing from then on.
41 Shortcuts for tab-activated snippets all follow the TextMate convention of 2 or 3 letters of the first word, followed by the first letter of each subsequent word. So "should have_at_least" would be triggered by shhal.
43 We reduced the scope for running spec directories, files, a single file or individual spec in TextMate to source.ruby.rspec. This allowed us to restore the standard Ruby shortcuts:
45 CMD-R runs all the specs in one file
46 CMD-SHIFT-R runs an individual spec
47 CMD-OPT-R runs any files or directories selected in the TextMate drawer
49 rspec_on_rails users - don't forget to run script/generate rspec

146 Another bugfix release - this time to resolve the version mismatch
150 Quick bugfix release to ensure that you don't have to have the rspec gem installed
151 in order to use autotest with rspec_on_rails.
153 * Fixed [#13015] autotest gives failure in 'spec_command' after upgrade 1.0.5 to 1.0.6
157 The "holy cow, batman, it's been a long time since we released and there are a ton of bug
158 fixes, patches and even new features" release.
160 Warning: Spec::Rails users: In fixing 11508, we've removed the raise_controller_errors method. As long as you
161 follow the upgrade instructions and run 'script/generate rspec' you'll be fine, but if you skip this
162 step you need to manually go into spec_helper.rb and remove the call to that method (if present - it
163 might not be if you haven't upgraded in a while).
165 Warning: Implementors of custom formatters. Formatters will now be sent an Example object instead of just a
166 String for #example_started, #example_passed and #example_failed. In certain scenarios
167 (Spec::Ui with Spec::Distributed), the formatter must ask the Example for its sequence number instead of
168 keeping track of a sequence number internal to the formatter. Most of you shouldn't need to upgrade
169 your formatters though - the Example#to_s method returns the example name/description, so you should be
170 able to use the passed Example instance as if it were a String.
172 * Applied [#12986] Autotest Specs + Refactoring (Patch from Scott Tayler)
173 * Added a #close method to formatters, which allows them to gracefully close streams.
174 * Applied [#12935] Remove requirement that mocha must be installed as a gem when used as mocking framework. (Patch from Ryan Kinderman).

182 * Applied [#12682] Not correctly aliasing original 'stub!' and 'should_receive' methods for ApplicationController (Patch from Matthijs Langenberg)
183 * Disabled controller.should_receive(:render) and controller.stub!(:render). Use expect_render or stub_render instead.
184 * Applied [#12484] Allow a Behaviour's Description to flow through to the Formatter (Patch from Bob Cotton)

203 * Fixed [#11903] config.include with behaviour_type 'hash' does not work
204 * Examples without blocks and pending is now reported with a P instead of a *
205 * Pending blocks that now pass are rendered blue

207 * Made it possible to run spec from RSpec.tmbundle with --drb against a Rails spec_server.

336 * Fixed --colour support for Windows. This is a regression that was introduced in 0.9.1
337 * Applied [#10460] Make SpecRunner easier to instantiate without using commandline args
341 This release introduces #describe and #it (aliased as #context and #specify for
342 backwards compatibility). This allows you to express specs like this:
344 describe SomeClass do # Creates a Behaviour
345 it "should do something" do # Creates an Example
349 The command line features four new options that give you more control over what specs
350 are being run and in what order. This can be used to verify that your specs are
351 independent (by running in opposite order with --reverse). It can also be used to cut
352 down feedback time by running the most recently modified specs first (--loadby mtime --reverse).
354 Further, --example replaces the old --spec option, and it can now take a file name of
355 spec names as an alternative to just a spec name. The --format failing_examples:file.txt
356 option allows you to output an --example compatible file, which makes it possible to only
357 rerun the specs that failed in the last run. Spec::Rails uses all of these four options
358 by default to optimise your RSpec experience.
360 There is now a simple configuration model. For Spec::Rails, you do something like this:
362 Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
363 config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
364 config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false
365 config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures'
368 You can now use mocha or flexmock with RSpec if you prefer either to
369 RSpec's own mock framework. Just put this:
371 Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
372 config.mock_with :mocha
377 Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
378 config.mock_with :flexmock
381 in a file that is loaded before your specs. You can also
382 configure included modules and predicate_matchers:
384 Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
385 config.include SomeModule

462 Quick "in house" bug-fix
466 This release introduces a new approach to handling expectations using Expression Matchers.
468 See Upgrade[http://rspec.rubyforge.org/upgrade.html], Spec::Expectations, Spec::Matchers and RELEASE-PLAN for more info.

471 store command line options in a file. This means a more flexible RSpec experience with Rails,
472 Rake and editor plugins like TextMate.

627 This is the "Grow up and eat your own dog food release". RSpec is now used on itself and
628 we're no longer using Test::Unit to test it. Although, we are still extending Test::Unit
629 for the rails plugin (indirectly - through ZenTest)
631 IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS RELEASE IS NOT 100% BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE TO 0.6.x
633 There are a few changes that will require that you change your existing specs.
635 RSpec now handles equality exactly like ruby does:
637 # actual.should_equal(expected) will pass if actual.equal?(expected) returns true
638 # actual.should eql(expected) will pass if actual.eql?(expected) returns true
639 # actual.should == expected will pass if actual == expected) returns true
641 At the high level, eql? implies equivalence, while equal? implies object identity. For more
642 information on how ruby deals w/ equality, you should do this:
648 http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html#M001057
650 Also, we left in should_be as a synonym for should_equal, so the only specs that should break are the
651 ones using should_equal (which used to use <code>==</code> instead of <code>.equal?</code>).
653 Lastly, should_be used to handle true and false differently from any other values. We've removed
654 this special handling, so now actual.should_be true will fail for any value other than true (it
655 used to pass for any non-nil, non-false value), and actual.should_be false will fail for any
656 value other than false (it used to pass for nil or false).
658 Here's what you'll need to do to update your specs:
659 # search for "should_equal" and replace with "should_eql"
662 If any specs still fail, they are probably related to should be_true or should_be_false using
663 non-boolean values. Those you'll just have to inspect manually and adjust appropriately (sorry!).
665 --------------------------------------------------
666 Specifying multiple return values in mocks now works like this:
668 mock.should_receive(:message).and_return(1,2,3)
670 It used to work like this:
672 mock.should_receive(:message).and_return([1,2,3])
674 but we decided that was counter intuitive and otherwise lame.
676 Here's what you'll need to do to update your specs:
677 # search for "and_return(["
678 # get rid of the "[" and "]"
680 --------------------------------------------------
681 RSpec on Rails now supports the following (thanks to ZenTest upon which it is built):
683 # Separate specs for models, views, controllers and helpers
684 # Controller specs are completely decoupled from the views by default (though you can tell them to couple themselves if you prefer)
685 # View specs are completely decoupled from app-specific controllers
687 See http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/index.html for more information
688 --------------------------------------------------
689 As usual, there are also other new features and bug fixes:
691 * Added lots of documentation on mocks/stubs and the rails plugin.
692 * Added support for assigns[key] syntax for controller specs (to align w/ pre-existing syntax for view specs)
693 * Added support for controller.should_redirect_to
694 * RSpec on Rails automatically checks whether it's compatible with the installed RSpec
695 * Applied [#6393] rspec_on_rails uses deprecated '@response' instead of the accessor
696 * RSpec now has 100% spec coverage(!)
697 * Added support for stubbing and partial mocking
698 * Progress (....F..F.) is now coloured. Tweaked patch from KAKUTANI Shintaro.
699 * Backtrace now excludes the rcov runner (/usr/local/bin/rcov)
700 * Fixed [#5539] predicates do not work w/ rails
701 * Added [#6091] support for Regexp matching messages sent to should_raise
702 * Added [#6333] support for Regexp matching in mock arguments
703 * Applied [#6283] refactoring of diff support to allow selectable formats and custom differs
704 * Fixed [#5564] "ruby spec_file.rb" doesn't work the same way as "spec spec_file.rb"
705 * Fixed [#6056] Multiple output of failing-spec notice
706 * Fixed [#6233] Colours in specdoc
707 * Applied [#6207] Allows --diff option to diff target and expected's #inspect output (Patch by Lachie Cox)
708 * Fixed [#6203] Failure messages are misleading - consider using inspect.
709 * Added [#6334] subject.should_have_xyz will try to call subject.has_xyz? - use this for hash.should_have_key(key)
710 * Fixed [#6017] Rake task should ignore empty or non-existent spec-dirs
714 In addition to a number of bug fixes and patches, this release begins to formalize the support for
717 * Added Christopher Petrilli's TextMate bundle to vendor/textmate/RSpec.tmbundle
718 * Fixed [#5909], once again supporting multi_word_predicates
719 * Applied [#5873] - response.should_have_rjs (initial patch from Jake Howerton, based on ARTS by Kevin Clark)
720 * Added generation of view specs for rspec_on_rails
721 * Applied [#5815] active_record_subclass.should_have(3).records

723 * Applied [#5801] QuickRef.pdf should say RSpec, not rSpec
724 * Applied [#5728] rails_spec_runner fails on Windows (Patch from Lindsay Evans).
725 * Applied [#5708] RSpec Rails plugin rspec_controller generator makes specs that do not parse.
726 * Cleaned up RSpec on Rails so it doesn't pollute as much during bootstrapping.
727 * Added support for response.should_have_tag and response.should_not_have_tag (works just like assert_tag in rails)
728 * Added new -c, --colour, --color option for colourful (red/green) output. Inspired from Pat Eyler's Redgreen gem.
729 * Added examples for Watir and Selenium under the gem's vendor directory.
730 * Renamed rails_spec_runner to rails_spec_server (as referred to in the docs)
731 * Added support for trying a plural for arbitrary predicates. E.g. Album.should_exist(:name => "Hey Jude") will call Album.exists?(:name => "Hey Jude")
732 * Added support for should_have to work with methods taking args returning a collection. E.g. @dave.should_have(3).albums_i_have_that_this_guy_doesnt(@aslak)
733 * Added [#5570] should_not_receive(:msg).with(:specific, "args")
734 * Applied [#5065] to support using define_method rather than method_missing to capture expected messages on mocks. Thanks to Eero Saynatkari for the tip that made it work.
735 * Restructured directories and Modules in order to separate rspec into three distinct Modules: Spec::Expectations, Spec::Runner and Spec::Mocks. This will allow us to more easily integrate other mock frameworks and/or allow test/unit users to take advantage of the expectation API.
736 * Applied [#5620] support any boolean method and arbitrary comparisons (5.should_be < 6) (Patch from Mike Williams)
740 This release fixes some minor bugs related to RSpec on Rails
741 Note that if you upgrade a rails app with this version of the rspec_on_rails plugin
742 you should remove your lib/tasks/rspec.rake if it exists.
744 * Backtraces from drb (and other standard ruby libraries) are now stripped from backtraces.
745 * Applied [#5557] Put rspec.rake into the task directory of the RSpec on Rails plugin (Patch from Daniel Siemssen)

756 This is the "fix the most annoying bugs release" of RSpec. There are 9 bugfixes this time.
757 Things that may break backwards compatibility:
758 1) Spec::Rake::SpecTask no longer has the options attribute. Use ruby_opts, spec_opts and rcov_opts instead.

773 * Fixed bug (5292) that caused mock argument matching to fail
774 * Converted ALL tests to use underscore syntax
775 * Fixed all remaining problems with underscores revealed by converting all the tests to underscores
776 * Enhanced sugar to support combinations of methods (i.e. once.and_return)
777 * Simplified helper structure taking advantage of dot/underscore combos (i.e. should.be.an_instance_of, which can be expressed as should be_an_instance_of)
778 * Added support for at_most in mocks

799 a experimental support for faster rails specs.
801 * Added proc methods for specifying differences (increments and decrements). See difference_test.rb
802 * Methods can now be defined alongside specs. This obsoletes the need for defining methods in setup. (Patch #5002 from Brian Takita)
803 * Sugar (underscores) now works correctly with should be_a_kind_of and should be_an_instance_of

852 tests and have them run successfully!
854 * Updated test2spec documentation.
855 * Replaced old test2rspec with a new test2spec, which is based on ParseTree and RubyInline.
858 This release changes examples and documentation to recommend underscores rather than dots,
859 and addresses some bugfixes and changes to the spec commandline.
