I can't find an integrated VS test runner for RSpec. Maybe I didn't look hard enough? But it seems to me that it's missing.
Is this something that would be useful? If so, do you have any ideas for implementation? I think it would be wise to go for the low hanging fruit in the first version. For instance just make a Command in VS, and execute ir spec_file.rb and output it in the Output window in Visual Studio. When it's a command, it's possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to execute the specs.
