Just as an addendum to that, it also exhibits freezing behaviour on one of the specs (presumably the same) with just the one line in place. (It just hangs indefinitely during the progress output.)

Don't expect anyone will be able to figure this out without seeing all the code, so I'm hoping someone can tell me where to look...

Hi

Before I try to recreate this, does anyone know what generally causes this in a progress spec run?

............................/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/formatter/progress_bar_formatter.rb: 25:in `flush': Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/ formatter/progress_bar_formatter.rb:25:in `start_dump' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/ reporter.rb:57:in `dump' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/ reporter.rb:57:in `each' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/ reporter.rb:57:in `dump' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/ example_group_runner.rb:38:in `finish' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/ example_group_runner.rb:27:in `run' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/runner/ options.rb:111:in `run_examples' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/ runner.rb:78:in `run' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/lib/spec/ runner.rb:48:in `register_at_exit_hook'
        from spec/followme/content/bbc_page_spec.rb:106

(Line 106 reads 'describe LowGraphicsBBCPage do')

The problem is that the file spec/followme/content/bbc_page_spec.rb is NOT the source of the error, it's actually caused by this in another file:

   class RssReader
     class RssReaderError < StandardError; end

     def initialize(uri)
       @uri = uri
     end

     def rss
       rss =
         begin
           ::RSS::Parser.parse(@uri.read, false)
         rescue OpenURI::HTTPError, Errno::ECONNREFUSED => error
# For some bizarre reason this next line breaks breaks the specs
           # FollowMe.logger.warn("Error reading RSS")
           FollowMe.logger.warn(error)
           raise RssReaderError.new(error.message)
         end
       raise RssReaderError.new("No RSS in feed") unless rss
       rss
     end
   end

FollowMe.logger is a mock during the specs of RssReader, but RssReader is not referenced in spec/followme/content/ bbc_page_spec.rb at all. Stranger, the second of the two log calls does not cause an error.

Anyone got any pointers that could help me figure this one out?

Cheers
Ashley
