This came up this morning in #rspec; Time tracks microseconds which blows up equality: >> a, b = Time.now, Time.now => [Sat May 03 13:15:31 -0500 2008, Sat May 03 13:15:31 -0500 2008] >> a == b => false >> [a.usec, b.usec] => [93308, 93309] Because of this, I tend to use 'should be_between()' when handling times; someone else suggested the .to_i trick which is probably closer to what is intended, but for some reason I find it confusing. k _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
