    Ok, but what if there isn’t any .rspec file in the project’s root directory because ~/.rspec is used instead? Does that mean that the discover.rb is still needed for these cases because i cannot just create an empty .rspec file due to the fact that then ~/.rspec isn’t used by rspec itself?

    @Jarmo - There is no conflict. RSpec reads in both ~/.rspec and ./.rspec and merges the result. If any one setting appears in both, the one in ./.rspec will take precedence, but that is a separate matter.

    Hello, rspec seems nice, but I can’t find anywhere on how to use this gem (as rails beginner)… may you please come up with clear details on how to use this gem before releasing lots of releases…?

    Good day

    @Haftsh - documentation is at http://relishapp.com/rspec (see http://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails for rails-specific info).

    If there’s something you can’t figure out from the docs, the rspec-user’s mailing list is at http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users.
