-l command line option broken?

Testing RSpec
1 
   true.should be_true
end
it "should be another example" do
   true.should be_true
end

end

I’m not familiar enough with the rspec code to get to the bottom of
this, but I did enough drilling to find its related to the new
backtrace based strategy for
Spec::runner::SpecParser#spec_name_for(file, line_number). Putting a
print statement inside
Spec::Example::ExampleGroupMethods#registration_backtrace I get the
following which shows that the target spec file isn’t even in the
backtrace from jruby.

def registration_backtrace
backtrace = eval(“caller”, @registration_binding_block)

      puts "backtrace: #{backtrace.join("\n")}"

      backtrace
   end

I submitted a JRuby issue about this but it sounds like it might be
more of an rspec problem. See the issue comments.

The link would probably help.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3092

Sorry again for not replying directly to the messages on this thread
(been pasting from the archives) but I’m still not getting mail from
rspec-users. Is there something going on with that? If nobody else is
experiencing problems I’ll assume its on my side. Anyway, I just saw
David’s reply to check in lighthouse and I did find an open ticket. I
commented on it to link to all of this.
