[rspec-users] How detailed should 'error' scenarios be?

I'm fairly new to cucumber and rspec but so far am falling in love with both. I've read up on several different articles concerning these testing tools including the 'beta' BDD rspec/cucumber book. I saw this thread here: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/183428 Which concerns how small or detail

Ok, a bit of a clarification. After some tinkering, I noticed the problem wasn't originating exactly where I thought it was (the example in my previous email doesn't actually illustrate the issue). This is the revised example with a bit more detail to give an example that fails. Also, I know my

[rspec-users] Rspec book review...

Hey everyone, I just thought I would provide some feedback on my experience with the rspec book - I "just" finished it. I'll explain my background a little bit so you can see how I was influenced and how well I feel I absorbed the information. My background is in desktop application development
