Hey all,
So I woke up early this morning, and was running some tests through
autospec, and it returned a time as follows:
Finished in 0.0151600000000001 seconds
I know that there are alot of other more important issues being
addressed right now for the rspec project, (2.0 for Rails 3.0). However,
do we really need this level of precision for spec tests? I know that
it’s nice to see if your refactoring made any changes in overall
performance. But do we really need it carried out to 16 decimal places?
Just seems like over kill to me.
One solution I had thought about was simply having a boolean switch
option for rspec called precise, wherein it would print shortened, less
precise times for those who wanted it. I’d even be willing to do the leg
work/patches for it if this doesn’t seem like a crazy idea.

Hey Ronald,
Is this actually causing you pain? RSpec isn’t doing anything special to
get
16 decimal places here. It just uses Timeout from the standard lib,
which
offers no API for precision. Reducing the precision would require
additional
code in RSpec, and that seems like overkill to me
Cheers,
David

Hey David,
Great book btw. I’m learning so much and it has really helped me in my
newbie days to ruby.
No, it’s not a pain. Just seemed like overkill that it would report to
such a finite decimal place is all. I guess that’s the PHPer in me
ackking @ the wasted numbers
