Hey does anyone know of a good open source Rails project that uses  
RSpec? I’d like to check out some real world code that’s drinking the  
RSpec BDD koolaid.

Thanks.

+1. I would like to know of a few as well.

I know that Buildr uses RSpec, been meaning to look into that as part of  
my investigations into it.

You might want to send this to the rspec-users mailing list too, unless  
you  
are specifically looking for RSpec on Rails projects.

Thanks yeah, mostly looking for Rails with CRUD, REST and all that.

Not a Rails project but you could check out RSpec itself…they eat  
their own dog food.

poke around in your vendor/plugins/rpsec\_on\_rails/spec folder

Thanks Michael. I kind of wanted to see it in the context of Rails using  
the models and all that. I’ve checked out a lot of docs on RSpec and  
read some articles but haven’t seen too much in the way of real Rails  
projects using it (at least OSS projects).

There’s smidge of rspec goodness in the caboo.se sample app.

I would suggest you to check out the peepcode screencasts. They have one  
about testing the models and another one for the controllers. They  
helped me a lot to clarify the basic rspec and bdd concepts.

Rubinius uses it heavily and is open source.
