The first thing that comes to mind is to pass in your timeout threshold as a defaulted argument, ie: def do_something(timeout=2000), and then in the example pass in a much lower threshold. This assumes that you want the block you pass to timeout to actually be executed. -- Zach Dennis http://www.continuousthinking.com http://www.mutuallyhuman.com _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
