Peter Donald commented on BUILDR-705:
-------------------------------------
Hi, I will try to have a look at doing this sometime next weekend.
Unfortunately what we are going to have to do to keep a nice user experience is
to detect when a build uses the check method and Rspec is not present to give a
warning to user to add the rspec dependency. I think this can probably be done
using method_missing and will give it a try next weekend.
> Remove runtime dependency on rspec
> ----------------------------------

> Key: BUILDR-705
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-705
> Project: Buildr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependency management
> Affects Versions: 1.4.20
> Environment: OS X 10.10
> Reporter: r6p
> Attachments: 0001-Removing-runtime-dependency-on-rspec.patch

> Having rspec as a "runtime dependency" for buildr is blocking us from
> updating rspec. Since using buildr's rspec support is optional and we don't
> use it, but use rspec directly ourselves this prevents us from upgrading
> rspec in our codebase due to version conflicts since we include buildr in our
> Gemfile.
> I think it makes sense to ask users to include rspec separately in their
> Gemfile and control the correct version required to make use of buildr's
> rspec support if that want to use that feature of buildr. But this shouldn't
> block those of us who don't use buildr from upgrading our independent rspec
> dependencies.
