Question for folks who don't like writing any examples for this kind of thing (including scenarios/steps). If I go tuck away some behaviour behind a nice declarative interface, will you not care about having examples showing that your objects utilize that behaviour? Not testing things that have no logic makes sense. However, validation methods have logic, it's just wrapped up behind a nice interface. > What's the community's position about that? > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users > -- 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
