As a note of feedback, when I do a spec --help, I saw this line...
-e, --example [NAME|FILE_NAME] Execute example(s) with matching
name(s). If the argument is
the path to an existing file
(typically generated by a previous
run using --format
failing_examples:file.txt), then the examples
on each line of that file will be
executed. If the file is empty,
all examples will be run (as if --
example was not specified).
so I, trying to be clever, passed it something to match:
E:\dev\ruby\spork>spec spec/spork/run_strategy/single* -e"the result"
Finished in 0.125 seconds
0 examples, 0 failures
Passing it the full test name seems to work, however:
E:\dev\ruby\spork>spec spec/spork/run_strategy/single* -e"returns the
result of the run_tests method from the forked child"
...
Finished in 0.34375 seconds
3 examples, 0 failures
Suggestion:
rephrase the help as "runs the test whose name equals the one
specified" (instead of using the word "matches" which to me somehow
meant "regex"), or
change the matching to be regex matching (this one is what I would
personally prefer--then you don't have to put full test names on the
command line).
Thoughts?

I personally find the line number much more useful, since you can just copy it directly from the failure messages to re-run something: spec path/to/spec.rb:37 WDYT?

It turns out that the underlying machinery is already in place for this in rspec2's new runner. Just need to hook it to the command line. But right now, in rspec-core-2.0.0.a2, you can say this in any Ruby that gets loaded (like spec_helper.rb): Rspec::Core.configure do |c| c.filter_run :description => /should match this string/ end Hooking that from the CLI will be pretty simple, so coming soon. Cheers, David

Yes. I added some narrative text to explain:

I would expect nothing to be done if no match was found. Consider the case of misspelling the example or group and having the whole shebang run instead of nothing. Peace, Phillip

I don't want to sound all gushy or anything, but you have got to be one of the most helpful, courteous, knowledgable people I have encountered in all my days on the internet. Thanks for all that you do for all the communities you participate in. Peace, Phillip
