Thanks for the feedback. You can in fact run just fine with the default spec.opts file -- the addition of the 'specdoc' option is to allow the full documentation to be printed as you run the specs. If you continue to have problems with red/green and/or output feedback from the UI, please send an email to the mailing list at users@ruby.netbeans.org with the version of NetBeans that you are running.

Hello Nick, This is really good. I am currently working on upgrading an app from Rails 1.2.6 to Rails 2.1.0. Fortunately, it has a large number of Rspec tests written for it. I am using Netbeans 6.1 to do all my ruby/ror work. What would be of help is if you follow this up with an in-depth screencast/blog/post/anything that shows how should I go about debugging an Rspec test, that would be a very useful thing. I can collaborate with you on this and do the grunt work, but don't have enough experience with Rspec yet to do it independently. Bharat

Bharat, feel free to follow up with my via email at 'nick at nicksieger.com'. We recently upgraded our project to Rails 2.1 also and I had to make some adjustments to get specs working again.
