This is a bug fix release that should install correctly regardless of which version of rubygems you are running.

rspec-core-2.6.3 / 2011-05-24

full changelog

• Bug fixes
  • Explicitly convert exit code to integer, avoiding TypeError when return value of run is IO object proxied by DRb::DRbObject (Julian Scheid)
  • Clarify behavior of --example command line option
  • Build using a rubygems-1.6.2 to avoid downstream yaml parsing error

This is a beta release intended to provide something that works with rails-3.1.0.rc1. It is not compatible with rails-3.1.0.beta1 or rake-0.9.0 (make sure you specify rake-0.8.7 in your Gemfile), but it is compatible with every other release of rails from 3.0.0 through 3.1.0.rc1.

rspec-core-2.6.0

full changelog

• Enhancements

  • shared_context (Damian Nurzynski)
    • extend groups matching specific metadata with:
      • method definitions
      • subject declarations
      • let/let! declarations
      • etc (anything you can do in a group)
  • its([:key]) works for any subject with #[]. (Peter Jaros)
  • treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values (Myron Marston)
  • Print a deprecation warning when you configure RSpec after defining an example. All configuration should happen before any examples are defined. (Myron Marston)
  • Pass the exit status of a DRb run to the invoking process. This causes specs run via DRb to not just return true or false. (Ilkka Laukkanen)
  • Refactoring of ConfigurationOptions#parse_options (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas)
  • Report excluded filters in runner output (tip from andyl)
  • Clean up messages for filters/tags.
  • Restore –pattern/-P command line option from rspec-1

  • Fixed backtrace so it doesn’t include lines from before the autorun at_exit hook (Myron Marston)
  • Include RSpec::Matchers when first example group is defined, rather than just before running the examples. This works around an obscure bug in ruby 1.9 that can cause infinite recursion. (Myron Marston)
  • Don’t send example_group_[started|finished] to formatters for empty groups.
  • Get specs passing on jruby (Sidu Ponnappa)
  • Fix bug where mixing nested groups and outer-level examples gave unpredictable :line_number behavior (Artur Małecki)
  • Regexp.escape the argument to –example (tip from Elliot Winkler)

We’re releasing rspec-2.6.0.rc2 as a release candidate as there are some internal changes that we’d like to see put through their paces before doing a final release. Note that the changes I speak of are internal. There are no new deprecations in this release, nor any backward-incompatible changes.

There are, however, some new features that we’re really excited about. Please do check it out and please do report any issues to the appropriate github issue tracker:

• rspec-core
• rspec-expectations
• rspec-mocks
• rspec-rails

rspec-1.3.2 and rspec-rails-1.3.4 have been released!

This is primarily a bug-fix release of the rspec-1.x series, and is recommended for all users who have not yet upgraded to rspec-2.

rspec-rails-1.3 users will need to upgrade to rspec-rails-1.3.4, which depends on rspec ~> 1.3.2 (meaning 1.3.2 and up, but not 2.0).

rspec 1.3.2

• Enhancements

  • Raise a meaningful error when an argument-scoped stub is called with the wrong args (Alexey)
  • Dev: ignore .rbc files (Myron Marston)

• Bug fixes

  • Fix regression in which an expectation should return the value from a previously defined stub of the same method (Tom Stuart)
  • Support heckling class methods (Dan Kubb)
  • Only try to pass messages to the superclass if the superclass responds to the method (Andrew Selder)

rspec-rails-1.3.4 is released!

rspec-rails 1.3.4

• No new code
• Depends on rspec ~> 1.3.2
  • rspec-rails 1.3.3 depended on rspec-1.3.1 explicitly, so this release allows you to upgrade to rspec-1.3.2 with rspec-rails.

rspec-core-2.5.1

full changelog

This release breaks compatibility with rspec/autotest/bundler integration, but does so in order to greatly simplify it.

With the release of rspec-core-2.5.1, if you want the generated autotest command to include bundle exec, require Autotest’s bundler plugin in a .autotest file in the project’s root directory or in your home directory:

require "autotest/bundler"

Now you can just type ‘autotest’ on the commmand line and it will work as you expect.

If you don’t want ‘bundle exec’, there is nothing you have to do.
