spec/spec_helper shouldn't require merb unless an option is passed instructing it to do so

Reported by rbpandey | December 16th, 2008 @ 12:49 PM

When I try to run the mechanize_session_spec.rb i get the error below, but if I comment out require "merb-core" and require "webrat/merb" of spec/spec_helper.rb all is well.

1164-lap:~/dev/git-projects/webrat rpandey$ spec spec/webrat/mechanize/mechanize_session_spec.rb

    At the moment you pretty much have to install all of the dependencies to be able to run tests for webrat. Eg sinatra, merb-*, rspec, rails.

    The alternative is that people wouldn't run all of the tests such as the tinatra tests before they commit.

    Personally, I'd rather test to make sure that I didn't break something for another framework than have my patch rejected because it does.

    That said, it should likely be better segregated.

    • State changed from “new” to “wontfix”

    In regards to the specific issue of the spec suite depending on sinatra, merb, rspec and rails, I think that's generally alright considering the alternatives.

    If there are specific ideas for how segregation could make things more maintainable, please open additional tickets and let's discuss them.
