is there any way to get rspec to tell you the contents of the catalog on a failure?

[Johnson Earls]

Another rspec question:

Is there any way to get rspec to tell you, when a test fails, what the contents of the catalog was, at a high level at least, that generated the failure?

I've got a code block that looks right to me, and an rspec test that looks right to me.  the test is failing and I have no idea why.  Maybe seeing the contents of the catalog would help me figure out what's going on.

Thanks in advance,

When I get a vague failure, such as "expect File[/whatever] to be in the catalog" and don't know why it's not, I put a pry in the `it` block before the test failure and re-run. It will drop you into a pry prompt and you can inspect the catalog manually by running `catalogue` and look for anything that looks weird.

There is no great way to dump the catalog on failure automatically though.
