Steak without rspec?

[David Kahn]

Just wondering if rspec is necessary to run Steak.... I am at the point that I just want to pitch all non-necessary DSL's. I'm maybe an average programmer with above average creativity and am tired of dealing with stuff that I dont need to know that keeps me from getting things done. Throw the tomatos but I am feeling nostalgic for the simplicity and non-hassle world of Test/Unit.

Hey, David.

I like the additional expressiveness of RSpec, that's why Steak is based on it. But there's nothing preventing you from using Capybara or Webrat with Test/Unit (no RSpec, no Steak) If you're using Rails I'd suggest using integration tests which you have out-of-the-box.

Hi David,

I haven't tried it, but there's an alternative to Steak that doesn't use RSpec:

Ha... cool, I think I kind of created this myself yesterday but just adding Capybara to test unit... but this helps me -- it is beautifully minimalist, like 15 lines of code :)
