The following trick, calling "pending" from inside the before block,

this behaviour going forward? What do you think?
describe 'Something' do

pending 'not running on this platform'
end
end
it 'should do something' do
1.should == 1

Hi Wincent
How about wrapping it this way instead...
describe 'Something' do
if required_tools_installed
it 'should do something' do
1.should == 1
end
end
end
That will make them invisible (for better or worse).
How come you need this? Is what you really need to spec that the tool
itself degrades gracefully? eg
describe 'Something' do
if required_tools_installed
it 'should do something' do
1.should == 1
end
else
it 'should inform the user the tool is missing'
end
end
