Updated RSpec textmate bundle

Published: September 11th, 2007

If you are utilizing the Textmate RSpec bundle, then you’re in for a surprise; they updated it! Here are the details, and the gotcha that I ran in to on the upgrade.


From info that I received on the RSpec mailing list, the Textmate bundle for RSpec has been updated.

Installing from Subversion straight into your TextMate

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/

svn co svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/RSpec.tmbundle

I went ahead and installed and what I see that’s changed the most, are the shortcuts to run the spec files. From cmd+r, it’s now shift + cmd + r, alt + cmd + r, and cmd + r - depending on what exactly you’re wanting to do.

I actually had a gotcha, since I already had the RSpec bundle installed there was some conflict, and I’d keep trying to run the files via the keyboard shortcuts but it didn’t work. So thanks to David Chelimsky for showing me the way: Make sure you have the “RSpec bundle” selected on the bottom left of the screen on Textmate. (I had Ruby on Rails selected).
