Summary: Integrate rbehave into rspec

Initial Comment:
rbehave is a story/scenario description framework that describes behaviour for an application in the same way that rspec describes behaviour for objects.

It would make sense for rspec to contain rbehave in a "story" module (spec/story) so that rspec becomes a "full stack" BDD framework.

This initial feature request is simply to bring rbehave into the rspec project. Further work (ie. further feature requests) would create closer integration between the two, and providing a way to describe Rails behaviour at a story/scenario level.

I like the idea.  As long as it doesn't invalidate all those GUI tests I've written in RSpec....  ;-)

Message:
RBehave is great, plus one for it. The only problem is that it is poorly documented. And yes, I'd like to submit a patch when I get deep enough in the source.

Message:
First of all, thank you for your nice DSL

Then, here is a draft version of code that isolates scenarios into ActiveRecord transactions (extract from my project)

class ActiveRecordSafetyListener
  include Singleton
  def scenario_started(*args)
    unless Rails::VERSION::STRING == "1.1.6"
      ActiveRecord::Base.send :increment_open_transactions
    end
    ActiveRecord::Base.connection.begin_db_transaction
  end
  def scenario_succeeded(*args)
    ActiveRecord::Base.connection.rollback_db_transaction
    unless Rails::VERSION::STRING == "1.1.6"
      ActiveRecord::Base.send :decrement_open_transactions
    end
  end
  alias :scenario_pending :scenario_succeeded
  alias :scenario_failed :scenario_succeeded
end


class RBehave::Runner::ScenarioRunner
  def initialize
    @listeners = [ActiveRecordSafetyListener.instance]
  end
end
