JUnit 4.4+ has a feature called assumptions and I am looking for something similar in rspec so that I can express that my examples require a specific environment variable to be specified for testing to make sense.
About assumptions from the readme (http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/ ReleaseNotes4.4.html#assumptions): "Ideally, the developer writing a test has control of all of the forces that might cause a test to fail. If this isn't immediately possible, making dependencies explicit can often improve a design. For example, if a test fails when run in a different locale than the developer intended, it can be fixed by explicitly passing a locale to the domain code. However, sometimes this is not desirable or possible. It's good to be able to run a test against the code as it is currently written, implicit assumptions and all, or to write a test that exposes a known bug. For these situations, JUnit now includes the ability to express "assumptions": " /Morten _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
