Initial version of ruby-plsql-spec gem was using RSpec version 1.3. But recently RSpec 2.0 was released which API is not compatible with previous RSpec 1.x API and as a result plsql-spec utility was failing if just RSpec was upgraded to version 2.0.

Therefore I updated also ruby-plsql-spec to use latest RSpec 2.0 gem and released ruby-plsql-spec gem version 0.2.1. You can install the latest version with

gem install ruby-plsql-spec

Upgrade from previous version

If you previously already installed initial ruby-plsql-spec version 0.1.0 then you need to update your spec/spec_helper.rb file to use RSpec 2.0. You can do it by running one more time

plsql-spec init

which will check which current files are different from the latest templates. You need to update just spec_helper.rb file. When you will be prompted to overwrite spec_helper.rb file then at first you can enter d to see differences between current file and new template. If you have not changed original spec_helper.rb file then you will see just one difference

- Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
+ RSpec.configure do |config|

You can then answer y and this file will be updated. When you will be prompted to overwrite other files then you can review the changes in the same way and decide if you want them to be overwritten or not (e.g. do not overwrite database.yml file as it has your specific database connection settings).

HTML output option

In addition plsql-spec utility now has --html option which will generate test results report as HTML report. It might be useful for usage in text editors where you can define which command line utility to run when pressing some shortcut key and then display generated HTML output report. If you will execute

plsql-spec run --html

then it will generate HTML report in test-results.html file. You can override this file name as well using --html output_file_name.html option.
