What a strange rant. "What's the value of this? Look at all the people succeeding without it. This makes no sense to me! ...I'll keep doing it." This is not a church. You will not be excommunicated from BDD. If a practice doesn't make sense to you, don't do it. If *not* doing it leads to perceptible hassles and suddenly the reasons for it make sense, start doing it again. I don't write view specs. Other people do. I share your opinion that Cucumber covers the same ground. Others point out that isolating the views makes specific interface bugs easier to spot and separate from controller or model failures. The argument in favor of view specs makes sense. Your argument against it makes sense too. What I can't understand from your post is what your persuasive purpose is. I'm not sure if you're trying to persuade _others_ that it's okay not to write view specs, or persuade _yourself._ -- 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
