Found some inconsistently behavior on its method

Hi there,

I’ve just started using rspec and rspec-rails (both are the newest
version
on git repository).
I met some inconsistently behavior on it method and its method.
The following is the way to reproduce it:

command line:

script/generate spec_controller product show

Modify a file spec/products_controller_spec.rb like the following:

require ‘spec_helper’

describe ProductsController do
describe Array do
subject { Array.new }
it { should be_empty }
its(:size) { should == 0 }
end
end

Then, when I run spec, the first example (it { should be_empty }) pass
the
test, but not the second one(its(:size){ should == 0 }).
How so?

I’ve found a similar issue:

describe 10 do
it { should == 10 }
its(:to_s) { should == “10” }
end

The first one passes, but not for the second one.
Is this a bug on rspec 1.3.1?

Another example:

describe Array do
its(:empty?) { should be_true } # pass
end

describe [] do
its(:empty?) { should be_true } # not pass
end

The first one passes the test where as the second one doesn’t pass.
So, what’s going on on its method??

Thank you,

I said I’m using the newest version on the repository, but I mean that
the
newest version of rspec1’s repository.
I didn’t try it on rspec2 because according to rspec2’s git repository,
it
doesn’t support rails 2 and I’m using rails 2.
Sorry about the lack of the information in my report.

Cheers,
Nori

All of these pass in rspec-2, but it looks like there are some
inconsistencies in rspec-1. You’re welcome to file bug reports for this,
but I can tell you that unless somebody else submits patches for it it’s
unlikely to get fixed.

Bug reports for rspec-1 live at http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com.

Sounds good!!

No apology necessary. There are a couple of projects in the works to
make rspec 2 work with rails 2, but I don’t think any are ready for
general consumption.

Hi David,

I’ve sent a patch for this problem via github.
Please check it out.

Thank you,
