Hi,

system\_spec.rb fails all its tests because the before(:each) calls  
platform\_is(:windows) without a block, while it appears to require  
one.

Can I just fix this specific spec by using platform\_is +  
platform\_is\_not instead, or is it better to fix platform\_is to allow  
calls without blocks ? I’d prefer the former because it sounds  
simpler.

what do you think ?
