Pretty story output for non-Rails project

Testing RSpec
1

I’m taking my first fledgling steps driving a new ruby (non-rails)
project with BDD. I’ve got a (test) story working. However, when I
run the story in TextMate (via command-r), the output is plain text.

See: Skitch | Evernote

How do I get the output to look pretty (formatted)?

rspec-1.1.3
OS X 10.5.2
TextMate v1.5.7 (1455)

Thanks,

/g

There’s no textmate formatter for stories yet. In the mean time, you
can do it on the command line with --format html and open the
resulting file in a browser.

Er… stories? How do you format story output as html?

Like David said. Not working for you?

David,

Is this something in trunk? all.rb does not except any arguments, and
there is no argument to the run command for this. Also, the svn server
seems to be offline this morning.

This is in the latest release. Just pass --format html on the ocmmand
line. ARGS is read by one of the internal files in RSpec - not all.rb.
Try --help too.

Also, I can’t seem to get the summarized output like the example in there.

Yeah, it’s only a start. Patches are welcome as usual.

Thanks, Aslak. Seems I was consuming ARGV prematurely in my own story
runner.

I must be dense:

RSpec-1.1.3 (build 20080131122909) - BDD for Ruby

ruby stories/all.rb --format html

and this outputs text. Where would the html go?
