Enhancements
shared_context(Damian Nurzynski)- extend groups matching specific metadata with:
- method definitions
- subject declarations
- let/let! declarations
- etc (anything you can do in a group)
- extend groups matching specific metadata with:
its([:key])works for any subject with #[]. (Peter Jaros)treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values(Myron Marston)- Print a deprecation warning when you configure RSpec after defining an example. All configuration should happen before any examples are defined. (Myron Marston)
- Pass the exit status of a DRb run to the invoking process. This causes specs run via DRb to not just return true or false. (Ilkka Laukkanen)
-
Bug fixes
- Don't stumble over an exception without a message (Hans Hasselberg)
- Remove non-ascii characters from comments that were choking rcov (Geoffrey Byers)
- Fixed backtrace so it doesn't include lines from before the autorun at_exit hook (Myron Marston)
- Include RSpec::Matchers when first example group is defined, rather than just before running the examples. This works around an obscure bug in ruby 1.9 that can cause infinite recursion. (Myron Marston)
- Don't send example_group_[started|finished] to formatters for empty groups.
- Get specs passing on jruby (Sidu Ponnappa)
- Fix bug where mixing nested groups and outer-level examples gave unpredictable :line_number behavior (Artur Małecki)
- Regexp.escape the argument to --example (tip from Elliot Winkler)
NOTE: this release breaks compatibility with rspec/autotest/bundler integration, but does so in order to greatly simplify it.
With this release, if you want the generated autotest command to include 'bundle exec', require Autotest's bundler plugin in a .autotest file in the project's root directory or in your home directory:
require "autotest/bundler"
Now you can just type 'autotest' on the commmand line and it will work as you expect.
If you don't want 'bundle exec', there is nothing you have to do.
