There's no way that I'm aware of to do this in rspec-1. There will
likely be a way to do it in rspec-2, but not yet (some of the
necessary pieces aren't in place). Once we get there, you'll be able
to do something like:
# purely hypothetical code - do not try this at home
Rspec::Core.configure do |c|
c.after(:each) do
if running_example.metadata[:status] == 'failed'
running_example.example_group.break
end
end
end
Coming soon, but not quite yet.
Cheers,
David
