2.14.5 / 2014-02-01

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Fix wrong matcher descriptions with falsey expected value (yujinakayama)

2.14.4 / 2013-11-06

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Make the match matcher produce a diff output. (Jon Rowe, Ben Moss)
• Choose encoding for diff's more intelligently, and when all else fails fall back to default internal encoding with replacing characters. (Jon Rowe)

2.14.3 / 2013-09-22

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Fix operator matchers (should syntax) when method is redefined on target. (Brandon Turner)
• Fix diffing of hashes with object based keys. (Jon Rowe)
• Fix operator matchers (should syntax) when operator is defined via method_missing (Jon Rowe)

2.14.2 / 2013-08-14

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Fix be_<predicate> matcher to not support operator chaining like the be matcher does (e.g. be == 5). This led to some odd behaviors since be_<predicate> == anything returned a BeComparedTo matcher and was thus always truthy. This was a consequence of the implementation (e.g. subclassing the basic Be matcher) and was not intended behavior. (Myron Marston).
• Fix change matcher to compare using == in addition to ===. This is important for an expression like: expect {}.to change { a.class }.from(ClassA).to(ClassB) because SomeClass === SomeClass returns false. (Myron Marston)

2.14.1 / 2013-08-08

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Ensure diff output uses the same encoding as the encoding of the string being diff'd to prevent Encoding::UndefinedConversionError errors (Jon Rowe).

2.14.0 / 2013-07-06

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Values that are not matchers use #inspect, rather than #description for documentation output (Andy Lindeman, Sam Phippen).
• Make expect(a).to be_within(x).percent_of(y) work with negative y (Katsuhiko Nishimra).
• Make the be_predicate matcher work as expected used with expect{...}.to change... (Sam Phippen).

2.14.0.rc1 / 2013-05-27

full changelog

Enhancements

• Enhance yield_control so that you can specify an exact or relative number of times: expect { }.to yield_control.exactly(3).times, expect { }.to yield_control.at_least(2).times, etc (Bartek Borkowski).
• Make the differ that is used when an expectation fails better handle arrays by splitting each element of the array onto its own line. (Sam Phippen)
• Accept duck-typed strings that respond to :to_str as expectation messages. (Toby Ovod-Everett)

Bug fixes

• Fix differ to not raise errors when dealing with differently-encoded strings (Jon Rowe).
• Fix expect(something).to be_within(x).percent_of(y) where x and y are both integers (Sam Phippen).
• Fix have matcher to handle the fact that on ruby 2.0, Enumerator#size may return nil (Kenta Murata).
• Fix expect { raise s }.to raise_error(s) where s is an error instance on ruby 2.0 (Sam Phippen).
• Fix expect(object).to raise_error passing. This now warns the user and fails the spec (tomykaira).

Deprecations

• Deprecate expect { }.not_to raise_error(SpecificErrorClass) or expect { }.not_to raise_error("some specific message"). Using these was prone to hiding failures as they would allow any other error to pass. (Sam Phippen and David Chelimsky)

2.13.0 / 2013-02-23

full changelog

Enhancements

• Add support for percent deltas to be_within matcher: expect(value).to be_within(10).percent_of(expected) (Myron Marston).
• Add support to include matcher to allow it to be given a list of matchers as the expecteds to match against (Luke Redpath).

Bug fixes

• Fix change matcher so that it dups strings in order to handle mutated strings (Myron Marston).
• Fix should be =~ /some regex/ / expect(...).to be =~ /some regex/. Previously, these either failed with a confusing undefined method matches?' for false:FalseClass error or were no-ops that didn't actually verify anything (Myron Marston).
• Add compatibility for diff-lcs 1.2 and relax the version constraint (Peter Goldstein).
• Fix DSL-generated matchers to allow multiple instances of the same matcher in the same example to have different description and failure messages based on the expected value (Myron Marston).
• Prevent undefined method #split for Array error when dumping the diff of an array of multiline strings (Myron Marston).
• Don't blow up when comparing strings that are in an encoding that is not ASCII compatible (Myron Marston).
• Remove confusing "Check the implementation of #==" message printed for empty diffs (Myron Marston).

2.12.1 / 2012-12-15

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Improve the failure message for an expression like {}.should =~ {}. (Myron Marston and Andy Lindeman)
• Provide a match_regex alias so that custom matchers built using the matcher DSL can use it (since match is a different method in that context). (Steven Harman)

2.12.0 / 2012-11-12

full changelog

Enhancements

• Colorize diffs if the --color option is configured. (Alex Coplan)
• Include backtraces in unexpected errors handled by raise_error matcher (Myron Marston)
• Print a warning when users accidentally pass a non-string argument as an expectation message (Sam Phippen)
• =~ and match_array matchers output a more useful error message when the actual value is not an array (or an object that responds to #to_ary) (Sam Phippen)

Bug fixes

• Fix include matcher so that expect({}).to include(:a => nil) fails as it should (Sam Phippen).
• Fix be_an_instance_of matcher so that Class#to_s is used in the description rather than Class#inspect, since some classes (like ActiveRecord::Base) define a long, verbose #inspect. (Tom Stuart)

2.11.3 / 2012-09-04

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Fix (and deprecate) expect { }.should syntax so that it works even though it was never a documented or intended syntax. It worked as a consequence of the implementation of expect in RSpec 2.10 and earlier. (Myron Marston)

• Ensure #== is defined on built in matchers so that they can be composed. For example:

  expect { user.emailed! }.to change { user.lastemailedat }.to be_within(1.second).of(Time.zone.now)

2.11.2 / 2012-07-25

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Define should and should_not on Object rather than BasicObject on MacRuby. On MacRuby, BasicObject is defined but is not the root of the object hierarchy. (Gabriel Gilder)

2.11.1 / 2012-07-08

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Constrain actual in be_within matcher to values that respond to - instead of requiring a specific type.
  • Time, for example, is a legit alternative.

2.11.0 / 2012-07-07

full changelog

Enhancements

• Expand expect syntax so that it supports expections on bare values in addition to blocks (Myron Marston).
• Add configuration options to control available expectation syntaxes (Myron Marston):
  • RSpec.configuration.expect_with(:rspec) { |c| c.syntax = :expect }
  • RSpec.configuration.expect_with(:rspec) { |c| c.syntax = :should }
  • RSpec.configuration.expect_with(:rspec) { |c| c.syntax = [:should, :expect] }
  • RSpec.configuration.add_should_and_should_not_to Delegator

Bug fixes

• Allow only Numeric values to be the "actual" in the be_within matcher. This prevents confusing error messages. (Su Zhang @zhangsu)
• Define should and should_not on BasicObject rather than Kernel on 1.9. This makes should and should_not work properly with BasicObject-subclassed proxy objects like Delegator. (Myron Marston)

2.10.0 / 2012-05-03

full changelog

Enhancements

• Add new start_with and end_with matchers (Jeremy Wadsack)
• Add new matchers for specifying yields (Myron Marston):
  • expect {...}.to yield_control
  • expect {...}.to yield_with_args(1, 2, 3)
  • expect {...}.to yield_with_no_args
  • expect {...}.to yield_successive_args(1, 2, 3)
• match_unless_raises takes multiple exception args

Bug fixes

• Fix be_within matcher to be inclusive of delta.
• Fix message-specific specs to pass on Rubinius (John Firebaugh)

2.9.1 / 2012-04-03

full changelog

Bug fixes

• Provide a helpful message if the diff between two objects is empty.
• Fix bug diffing single strings with multiline strings.
• Fix for error with using custom matchers inside other custom matchers (mirasrael)
• Fix using execution context methods in nested DSL matchers (mirasrael)

2.9.0 / 2012-03-17

full changelog

Enhancements

• Move built-in matcher classes to RSpec::Matchers::BuiltIn to reduce pollution of RSpec::Matchers (which is included in every example).
• Autoload files with matcher classes to improve load time.

Bug fixes

• Align respond_to? and method_missing in DSL-defined matchers.
• Clear out user-defined instance variables between invocations of DSL-defined matchers.
• Dup the instance of a DSL generated matcher so its state is not changed by subsequent invocations.
• Treat expected args consistently across positive and negative expectations (thanks to Ralf Kistner for the heads up)
