Why doen't it fail?

[Mike Plavsky]

Hi,

Maybe it is a stupid question but I am a novice to 'boo', 'specter'
and 'python' world, so let me ask:

If I use duck type instead of concrete type the following code never
fails (always green) despite of the fact that true Count is 1:

reader as duck

reader = SpringConfig.SpringConfigReader()
objects = reader.Read( config )
objects.Count.Must == 10

When I change duck to the concrete type (here it is
SpringConfig.SpringConfigReader) everything works just fine.

Why?

Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike!

This is a bug in specter with the Must == on reference types.
When a type is declared as duck in boo, everything from it is object (thus reference) since resolved at run-time.

Jeffery has posted a patch some time ago on the list to fix this.
I'll integrate his patch and make a new release including this fix today!

Thanks,

[Mike Plavsky]

Got it. Thanks a lot!
