rspec 1.1 and my open source debut
Everyone’s favorite BDD framework, rspec, has recently come out with a lot of nice improvements and fixes. One big thing that’s in there now is the ability to write stories. The best thing, however, is that I’m now on the community page!
Over the summer, while I was working at Collaborative Drug Discovery, Dav Yaginuma from Pivotal Labs and I wrote a patch to allow the specparser to parse describe blocks that had :behaviourtype set on them. This let us run focused tests on those sections. After figuring out what was wrong, it was just a matter of fixing some regexes and adding another clause.
Then when I was at the rails edge conference in Chicago in August, I had a chance to meet David Chelimsky. He suggested that I submit that as a patch. I first checked with CDD to see if doing so was breaking any sort of agreement I signed or anything, then wrote some specs for the changes and submitted. Even though it wasn’t all that much and it was pair-programmed, it was my first open source contribution and seeing it “official” now is awesome.
