Forum: RSpec rspec rake task + bundler: feedback requested

Hey folks,

RSpec's assumption that the existence of a Gemfile means you want to use 
Bundler to configure runtime environment is flawed. We added a 
skip_bundler option to the rake task, but that was a temporary hack to 
get us through a release without breaking existing suites.

This still presents a problem for anyone who doesn't have Bundler 
installed, and is contributing to an open source project that does use 
Bundler for installing gems as a convenience, but doesn't need it for 
the runtime environment. I'm sure there are other cases.

If this topic interests you, please take a look at 
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues/454 and my proposed fix at 
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/commit/f90b9f5.... 
I think this is a good solution to the problem, but I want to get some 
feedback before merging this to master.

Please comment in the issue and/or the commit on http://github.com/ 
rather than here. I'd like to keep the conversation in one place.

Thanks,
David
