RSpec

Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby

The rspec metagem repository has been renamed to rspec-metagem, please update any rspec/rspec Github references to rspec/rspec-metagem, this is in preparation for a new mono-repo approach to RSpec dev to unify issue tracking and PR management

Description

rspec is a meta-gem, which depends on the rspec-core, rspec-expectations and rspec-mocks gems. Each of these can be installed separately and loaded in isolation using require. Among other benefits, this allows you to use rspec-expectations, for example, in Test::Unit::TestCase if you happen to prefer that style.

Conversely, if you like RSpec's approach to declaring example groups and examples (describe and it) but prefer Test::Unit assertions and mocha, rr or flexmock for mocking, you'll be able to do that without having to install or load the components of RSpec that you're not using.
