Rake spec:rcov failing

Testing RSpec

Running rails 1.2.3, rcov (0.8.0.2), rspec trunk (2865) -

When running rake spec:rcov, I’m getting the following:

Finished in 245.717813 seconds

Any ideas, or should I report this in the tracker?

Since there is nothing RSpec in the backtrace this look like an RCov
or REXML bug

Maybe it relates to the invalid XHTML. I’ll report back when that is
fixed.

Thanks Aslak,

I guess you are using a really new version of ruby? The latest patch
levels seem to include a version of rexml that isn’t compatible with
rcov. The rcov code thinks it can pass Fixnum’s as the value of an
attribute while building the HTML summary page, but apparently the
latest version of rexml no longer allows this.

I haven’t had time to figure out if this change in rexml is intentional
or not, and thus whether rexml or rcov needs fixing.

Kind regards,
