Migrating to RSpec 2 from RSpec 1
You will need to upgrade to RSpec >= 2 and rspec-rails >= 2 for Rails 3. Here are some hints to get started:
- In RSpec 2 the executable is
rspec
, not spec
.
- RSpec and rspec-rails have been completely refactored internally. All RSpec classes have been renamed from
Spec::Something
to RSpec::Something
. This also means that every require 'spec/something'
must now be require 'rspec/something'
.
- In
spec_helper.rb
, Spec::Runner.configure
becomes RSpec.configure
- It has become really hard to extend specific example groups in rspec-rails (e.g. only controller example groups). Your existing example macros will probably break for this reason. Save yourself the trouble and attach all your macros to
RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup
instead.
- Your spec_candy.rb will break. We have a working update in the repository "why", branch "rails3". We will update the note soon.
-
rspec_spinner does not yet work with RSpec 2. We will update the gem soon.
