Thanks for the clarification. I was led astray by the example from the RSpec Book where the network dependent code was described*. In that example the default if filter was overriden using the Proc object and it returned true or false depending on the network condition. Now I understand that code could be changed like the following:
~~~ class Network def self.available true # or false depending on the network condition end end describe 'some network dependent code' do it 'does one', :if => Network.available do # works if the network is available only end it 'does two' do end end ~~~ ________ * The RSpec Book, chp. 16, p. 238.
