rspec version 1.2.4 has been released!

Be sure to check History.rdoc and Updgrade.rdoc at
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec/1.2.4/ before upgrading.

Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby.

Changes:

Version 1.2.4

  • bug fix
    • just one - update the manifest

Version 1.2.3

  • enhancements

    • support for specifying single examples with colon syntax. Closes
      #712.
      (Ben M.)
      • you can now say “spec some_spec.rb:12” in addition to “spec
        some_spec.rb
        –line 12”
    • run specs locally with --drb if no drb server is running. Closes
      #780.
      • still prints “No server running” to stderr

  • bug fixes

    • support expectations on DelegateClass (Clifford T. Matthews). Closes
      #48.
    • Fixed match_array blows up if elements can’t be sorted (Jeff
      Dean). Closes #779.

  • deprecations

    • BaseFormatter#add_example_group (use #example_group_started instead)
    • ExampleGroupProxy#backtrace (use #location instead)
    • ExampleProxy#backtrace (use #location instead)
    • BaseFormatter#example_pending now expects two arguments. The third
      argument is deprecated.
    • ExampleGroupProxy#filtered_description. This was only used in one
      place
      internally, and was a confusing solution to the problem. If you’ve
      got a
      custom formatter that uses it, you can just use
      ExampleGroupProxy#description and modify it directly.
    • predicate_matchers (use the new Matcher DSL instead)
    • Spec::Matchers.create (use Spec::Matchers.define instead)

Just tried it out. Something missed?

cat t.rb

describe ‘test’ do
it “should not fail” do
[‘A’].should include(‘A’)
end
end

spec -v

rspec 1.2.4

spec t.rb
F

NoMethodError in ‘test should not fail’
undefined method `helper’ for #Spec::Matchers::Matcher:0x66402c41

rspec gems and re-installing only rspec 1.2.4 but that still didn’t work.
Anyone else running into this? Maybe a JRuby issue?

There is an issue with JRuby and RSpec >= 1.2.0 that only reveals
itself under special circumstances, but reveals itself all the time
with 1.2.3/4.

Please stick with 1.2.2 for now. There will be a 1.2.5 release some
time soon that will fix this issue so you can upgrade then (or you can
build now from git).

Thanks,
David

I thought I must be crazy since no-one else seems to be complaining
about this but I do still have this problem. I previously left out an
important detail that I am using jruby 1.2.0. This was probably
present in 1.2.3 but I had previously been at 1.2.2. No problems with
MRI. I tried removing all rspec gems and re-installing only rspec
1.2.4 but that still didn’t work. Anyone else running into this? Maybe
a JRuby issue?
