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
  • Support false as well as true in config.full_backtrace= (Andreas Tolf Tolfsen)

• Bug fixes

  • Don’t stumble over an exception without a message (Hans Hasselberg)
  • Remove non-ascii characters from comments that were choking rcov (Geoffrey Byers)
  • 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)
  • Correctly pass/fail pending block with message expectations
  • CommandLine returns exit status (0/1) instead of true/false
  • Create path to formatter output file if it doesn’t exist (marekj).
