You want to use "spec" to run files directly. If you have your heart set on running files from "ruby" then you'll need to load "spec/autorun" to actually execute the specs. Note using the following will not work on ruby 1.8.x (see thread http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/334942 ) but it should work on 1.9.x. ruby -rubygems -rspec -rspec/autorun file_spec.rb -- Zach Dennis http://www.continuousthinking.com (personal) http://www.mutuallyhuman.com (hire me) http://ideafoundry.info/behavior-driven-development (first rate BDD training) @zachdennis (twitter) _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
