[Nitro] Testing

[Mark Van De Vyver]

Hi,
My 2c.

I've found the following helps make it more obvious what a spec refers
to, and when the spec fails you get a better idea about the class
invovled:

module Og
  describe HasManyCollection, "#resolve_polymorphic with some context
description" do
    it "should ..." do
    end
  end
end

For a fialing test (outside of rake test:og) you'll see something like

Og::HasManyCollection##resolve_polymorphic with some context
description should ...." failed etc.

Oh and if you think of a spec for behavior that isn't implemented,
include it using RSpec's
pending("comment") do ...end;
and then comment it out - that way your insights are recorded for
posterity.  RSpec pending's cuase the rake task to register the
example as a fail hence the suggestion to comment it out.

On a related note, I thought a convention to _try_ to adhere to was to
include in ./test/file.rb specs for methods that are found in
./lib/file.rb.
Now this isn't always possible in a pure way, but worth shooting for?

Like I said, just my 2c.
Mark
