Hey Tim,
I actually added a 'gem' task to the rspec-rails project a while
ago..
It was soon deprecated in favor of using Hoe however. Either way
though
rspec-rails on github allows you to build the gem yourself using rake
and install it locally. I think the reason for not making it an
official gem is that it really meant to be a rails plugin and the
fact
that it is usually a good idea to freeze both rspec and rspec-rails
in
your app to avoid dependency problems between teams and projects. I
suppose with the new rails gem management feature those reasons are
somewhat mitigated... I think it would be a good idea to make the
rspec-rails available as a gem as well because I have needed it as
a gem
in the past for merb apps. (You can reuse some of the AR specific
helpers in other non-rails AR projects.) So +1 on making it a public
gem (at least just on github.)
We are definitely planning to release an rspec-rails gem, but not
until we do a release :)
With Rails-2.2.0 around the corner, we'll release shortly after that
(once we're able to resolve any incompatibilities with edge rails).
Cheers,
David
Fantastic news, thanks to both of you. Until further notice, I'll use
the Hoe route (why does that sound dirty?)
Tim
