Still can't get consistent behavior with -l, consider the following..
test_spec.rb
> describe SomeModule
> it # special it
> describe "some method of the module"
> it... # 'lonely it'
> it... # 'lonely it'
> it... # 'special it'
> context...
> it... # 'context it'
...
(...where carets indicate nesting levels.)
So, when I enter -l [the line for 'describe SomeModule'], the lines
commented 'special it' and all my 'context it' tests run but not lines
commented 'lonely it'.
And when I enter -l [the line for 'describe "some method of the
module"'] I get all the enclosed tests, except those in the context
block (and even some tests from another module tested below
SomeModule!)
When I run test_spec.rb, I get everything.
I'm trying to draw a takeaway from this, but all I can come up with
is: 'If you use nested blocks in your RSpec tests, do not expect -l to
test everything in the block you're targeting.'
