This is a terrific demo, very nicely demonstrates not only RSpec, but the very good support for Ruby and Rails in NetBeans. I've been a very happy NetBeans user for 4 years, and even happier to see the Ruby support added recently. Thanks

Very nice demo but it did not work for me and just want to point out what I had to do to work around this. The problem was I didnt get a green/red bar and no output. And this may be a Windows only problem as well Solution ( for me atleast ): Delete spec.opts file and recreate it, I even could run the test without this file so what the "specdoc" line does I think I'll have to look at the rspec homepage

It would have been nice to include a bit about AutoTest.

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.
