shoulda: a spec framework without the hype

This morning I just discovered Shoulda, a really sweet testing framework that gives context and behavior without the whizz-bang syntax of RSpec and test-spec. Check it out!

My only complaints so far:

  • the example code on their homepage is missing “do” keywords after some of the “should” statements. oops!
  • I can no longer run an individual test in textmate with APPLE-shift-R, as there is no literal method to run, just a block. Hopefully this will be fixed with a forthcoming shoulda textmate bundle.
