Hi Steve, I think so. If it said which class-or-module and method they were defined in (almost always determinable by backwards regexing) even better. Then a dimwit like me could just glance at it and say "Oh, duh! I forgot to spec Planet.destroy!" Also I must confess: after I sent that last e-mail, it occurred to me why a past-exception-based coverage tool wouldn't work very well in the long term. It'd be fine for immediate use, but if you didn't do the specs right away, the code would evolve and the line numbers of those old exceptions would slowly go out of sync with current reality. Since the only reasonable answer to that is "When something breaks, write a test for it _immediately_ to catch it next time" I'd say the simpler script you're talking about is probably close to ideal. -- Have Fun, Steve Eley (sfe...@gmail.com) ESCAPE POD - The Science Fiction Podcast Magazine http://www.escapepod.org _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
