Version 1.1.5 / 2008-09-28¶ ↑

IMPORTANT: use ‘script/autospec’ (or just ‘autospec’ if you have the rspec gem installed) instead of ‘autotest’. We changed the way autotest discovers rspec so the autotest executable won’t automatically load rspec anymore. This allows rspec to live side by side other spec frameworks without always co-opting autotest through autotest’s discovery mechanism.

ALSO IMPORTANT: Rails v2.1.1 changed assert_select_rjs such that it doesn’t always fail when it should. Please see rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/982.

• Generated route specs have shorter names, making it less painful to modify their implementation

• Add conditional so Rails 2.1.0 doesn’t warn about cache_template_extensions (patch from James Herdman)

• Fixed stub_model examples to work with Rails 2.1.0 (the code was fine, just the examples needed patching)

• reworked generated examples for rspec_scaffold - thanks to Mikel Lindsaar and Dan Manges for their feedback

• bye, bye translator

• Added proxy to cookies so you can set them in examples the same way you set them in controllers

• Added script/autospec so you can run autospec without installing the gem

• Support –skip-fixture in the rspec_model generator (patches from Alex Tomlins and Niels Ganser)

• Add mock_model#as_new_record (patch from Zach Dennis)

• mock(:null_object=>true) plays nice with HTML (patch from Gerrit Kaiser)

• Suppress a deprecation notice in Rails 2.1 (James Herdman)

• quiet deprecation warning on inflector (RSL)

• rspec-rails gem (Ben Mabey)
