plain text Example format that is arbitrarily nested
Reported by Brian Takita | April 5th, 2008 @ 11:20 PM | in No-Milestone-Assigned
This will be an indentation based format that follows ExampleGroup nesting.
For example:
describe User do
describe "when logged in" do
describe "for the first time" do
it "sends a welcome message"
it "sets updated_at to now"
end
describe "and has previously logged in" do
it "does not send a welcome message"
it "sets updated_at to now"
end
end
end
Would look like:
User
when logged in
for the first time
sends a welcome message
sets updated_at to now
and has previously logged in
does not send a welcome message
sets updated_at to now
This would be also be useful as a dry run (a rake task) where you can see the structure of the specs.

Do you see this as always being the output or more as an option?

I was thinking of this being an option by adding another Formatter. A name could be NestedDocFormater.
The situation we are having is probably what led you to have plain text stories.
There is a lot of contextual setup in which nested describes express very well, but the implementation of the Examples get in the way and make it difficult to see the logical structure of the ExampleGroup.
