Hook for number of behaviours in BaseFormatter?

Reported by Hans Olaf Borch | December 7th, 2007 @ 03:21 PM

In BaseFormatter the hook start(example_count) gives you the number of examples to be run. I wonder if I can get the number of behaviours to be run instead?

    Instead, no. In addition to? Maybe.

    What's the use case you have in mind?

    Yes, I meant in addition! We have a large suite of acceptance tests in rspec/watir that gets run for each build, and I'd like our project dashboard to display the status based on the total vs. failing behaviours (they each represent a user story, and what matters to us is how many of the stories are failing)

    I can detect the number of failing behaviours using the example definition passed in with example_failed, but I couldn't figure out how to get the total number of behaviours to be run.
