I was getting a little tired of adding 2 plugins every time I create a
new rails project, so I just built an rspec-rails gemspec, and it
works perfectly well. Does anybody know why there isn’t a public
rspec-rails gem?

Hey Tim,
I actually added a ‘gem’ task to the rspec-rails project a while ago…
It was soon deprecated in favor of using Hoe however. Either way though
rspec-rails on github allows you to build the gem yourself using rake
and install it locally. I think the reason for not making it an
official gem is that it really meant to be a rails plugin and the fact
that it is usually a good idea to freeze both rspec and rspec-rails in
your app to avoid dependency problems between teams and projects. I
suppose with the new rails gem management feature those reasons are
somewhat mitigated… I think it would be a good idea to make the
rspec-rails available as a gem as well because I have needed it as a gem
in the past for merb apps. (You can reuse some of the AR specific
helpers in other non-rails AR projects.) So +1 on making it a public
gem (at least just on github.)

We are definitely planning to release an rspec-rails gem, but not
until we do a release 
With Rails-2.2.0 around the corner, we’ll release shortly after that
(once we’re able to resolve any incompatibilities with edge rails).
Cheers,
David

I don’t know if I should be ashamed to admit this or not…but I use the
rspec-rails gem 
It’s not available from RubyForge because we haven’t
had a release since it’s been added, afaik. Build it from trunk.

Fantastic news, thanks to both of you. Until further notice, I’ll use
the Hoe route (why does that sound dirty?)

I released 1.1.5 yesterday, including rspec-1.1.5 and rspec-rails-1.1.5
gems.

It works fantastic. Thanks for a quality release. I’ve freed up
about 100 of megs on my hard drive already.
