"Robby Russell is a constant source of information on Ruby and Rails, I have used his instruction on how to set up Rails and PostgreSQL on Mac a number of times. It is therefore fun to see that I have actually used 3 out of the 5 things he wants to know more about:: RSpec User Stories We were very early adopters of this one, we started using it the same day it hit trunk in a useable form."

"I am creating a small site using Merb, DataMapper and RSpec, all in all a very enjoyable experience. I did however have problem getting the test database to be automigrated when running the specs, as I am used to in Rails. As Google did not help, I turned to #merb on IRC, and got immediate help. Two alternatives: Run rake MERB_ENV=test dm:db:automigrate before running rake specs Insert DataMapper::Base.auto_migrate! into your spec/spec_helper."

"I just read the following in a month old post on the RSpec list: As someone who uses an IDE, I find dealing with multiple SCMs is a real pain, and one of the cool things about Ruby has been that (traditionally) nearly everything’s in Subversion It might be that Rails will have hard time keeping up with new stuff, both technically and culturally, since it tied really close knots with everything that was cool 2005."

"RSpec 1.1: “The RSpec Development Team is pleased as glug (that’s kind of like punch, but more festive) to announce RSpec-1.1.0.” Woohoo! We’ve used RSpec since the 0.7-ies and I personally could not be happier with it. The RSpec community is really pushing the boundaries for testing/speccing frameworks and is now the standard for all others to follow. (Via David Chelimsky)"

"I am subscriber of the Test Driven Development mailing list as well as the RSpec ones. One thing that strikes me continually is the lack of innovation and new ideas in the former one, as opposed to the flurry of brilliant ideas constantly coming out of the RSpec one. It seems to me that communities stagnate and that the people who once were the revolutionaries turn into keepers of their own revolutions ideas."

"The current incarnation of autotest seems to assume that you are using integrated views. If not, you can modify the rspec_rails_autotest.rb file to run the view specs as well: :::ruby # when %r%^app/views/layouts/(.*)\.rhtml% then # ["spec/views/layouts/#{$1}_spec.rb"] when %r%^app/views/(.*)\.rhtml$% then ["spec/views/#{$1}_view_spec.rb"] Your view spec must be postfixed with “_view_spec.rb” for it to work Update This works out of the box now."

"I am getting all parts of my Rails development environment settled. In addition to vanilla Rails, I am currently using RSpec, Selenium and Autotest. I am seriously considering Haml and Sass as well. When googling arounf to learn more about Autotest, I realized that people are using together with Growl. It works out-of-the-box with Test::Unit, but RSpec needs a little tweaking. I took the basics from here and modified to my liking."
