I agree. Except that RSpec is not a testing framework - it's a design
framework whose by-product is executable specifications. :-)

A subtle difference, but nevertheless the raison d'etre for RSpec.

I'm out for the weekend, but I hope to add Lachie's Rails support to a
new branch in RSpec's svn next week.

As for testing (spit) the RSpec Rails plugin - I'm thinking about
checking in a minimal Rails app in svn, check in the plugin under its
vendor/plugins branch and let it live there.

We'll just have a Rakefile inside it that can package it as a gem as
well as publishing the plugin via the rails plugin mechanism.

WDYT?
