So it’s like the rspec story runner gem?

Waiting for “havetoa” and “musta” ;)

I was thinking more “Woulda” next :)

Yep, it’s a little like StoryRunner prior to the introduction of plain text stories. But it’s also small, simple, and Test::Unit under the hood.

Evan, when you throw up a blog post and an example, please post back here. Would love to see this in action

Actually, I have one right here: http://evan.tiggerpalace.com/articles/2009/09/12/coulda/. The sample code is stupid simple but it gives you a flavor for it.

Was just about to post a link to your blog post, Evan - but you beat me to it! :)

Just for the lazy: http://evan.tiggerpalace.com/articles/2009/09/12/coulda/

Duly noted I should add an auto link feature for URLs :)

rspec power without rspec syntax any1?

btw, we just covered this on RubyInside.
