Running simple rspec, no output

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I am very new to Ruby and Rspec, and found a simple tutorial online
about
rspec.

It involves two files:
bowling.rb and bowling_spec.rb

bowling_spec.rb

require’rubygems’
require ‘spec’
require ‘bowling’

describe Bowling do
it “should score 0 for gutter game” do
bowling = Bowling.new
20.times { bowling.hit(0) }
bowling.score.should == 0
end
end

#bowling.rb
class Bowling
def hit(pins)
end

def score
1
end
end

When I run the spec, I expect to see some sort of output along these
lines:
“Bowling should score 0 for gutter game”.

When I run it (from text mate) there are no errors, and there is no
output.
I see the same result running it from the command line.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Beccy

What command are you using from the command line? And what about in
textmate? Do you have the RSpec tmbundle installed?

When I run from the command line I use “ruby bowling_spec.rb” and it
appears
to just do nothing, but no errors are thrown. When I run in text mate, i
just save the file and hit Apple+R to run the file. Again there is no
output. I have not installed the RSpec tmbundle - having never heard of
it
before - I will do that and see what happens in text mate, however the
fact
that its not doing anything on the command line either suggests this is
not
the problem.

Problem solved. I was being an idiot. I type in “spec bowling_spec.rb”
at
command line. And installed the text mate bundle as suggested to allow
text
mate to display the results.
