Specs2: skip method

[Daniel Spiewak]

Does the skip method still exist in Specs2?  If so, in what form?  Actually, an even better option (for most cases) would be pendingUntilFixed, which also seems to be absent.

Hi Daniel,

Yes there are plenty of ways to do that! You can set an example as
"pendingUntilFixed":

http://etorreborre.github.com/specs2/guide/org.specs2.guide.SpecStructure.html#Set+an+example+as+%22Pending+until+fixed%22

But you can also, in an example, have a matcher which will skip the
example when failing:

http://etorreborre.github.com/specs2/guide/org.specs2.guide.Matchers.html#Matchers+creation
(search for "orSkip").

There's also the possibility to skip ssome or all of the examples by
using arguments. For example, you can use the "skipAll" argument to
skip all the Examples or you can specify "stopOnFail" to skip the
examples after the first failure:

http://etorreborre.github.com/specs2/guide/org.specs2.guide.Runners.html#Runners+guide

Finally you can throw your own Skipped (or Pending) result from inside
an example if you wish:

PS: can you please post specs2 messages on the specs2 mailing list:
http://groups.google.com/group/specs2-users? (this helps building a
knowledge base on specs2)

Skipped should still be there according to
http://etorreborre.github.com/specs2/guide/org.specs2.guide.SpecStructure.html#Standard+results

Pending untill fixed is described here:
