Here's one I've been meaning to bring up for a while: porting Cucumber's FIT-like table functionality to RSpec. I don't use scenario outlines very much in Cucumber. I much prefer factories and keeping one clear narration per major execution path. To me, the real value of something like outline tables is to test edge cases: inputs x and y should produce output z, which can be either success or a distinct sort of failure. But testing edge cases in Cucumber feels a bit kludgy to me. I don't like having to look for flash messages to tell me what succeeded or failed. I would much rather test these cases at a finer-grained level in RSpec. Using the exact same table format as a set of values for an RSpec example group to iterate over makes all kinds of sense. That would be this year's Christmas wish for me. >8-> -- 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
