[MacRuby-devel] new mspec formatter

[Matt Aimonetti]

Dear all,

 To give us a better idea of the progress made in our efforts to pass all
the ruby specs, we added a new mspec formatter.

If you pass the -f option with the macruby format argument, the specs will
run and give you a feedback on each major category (core, language,
library).

$ ./mspec/bin/mspec ci -I./lib -B spec/macruby.mspec :full -f macruby

You could also use the shortened version:

$ ./mspec/bin/mspec ci -I./lib -B spec/macruby.mspec :full -f mr

Note that the skipped examples are examples that were tagged as not running
or passing yet. Periodically someone (usually Eloy) checks that the tagged
specs still fail or don't pass. That gives us an indication of what needs to
be worked on.

The formatter seems to have an artifact and makes one of the specs fails and
being counted as an error. I'll be looking into that in the next few days to
try to solve this annoying issue. (specs are wrapped using mspec
instrumentation API and I'm probably doing something that interacts with the
way a specific spec is assering a behavior)

Regards,

- Matt
