Thanks. Does Rspec have the same support as ActiveSupport and ActionController testcases? I'm considering using Rspec since it comes with a server that loads the rails environment only once saving the rails startup time each time I run the test. I'm using windows and needless to say the startup time is ridiculously slow. I'm also going to try andLinux but would like to keep Rspec as an option.
