[rspec-users] [rspec] be_something accepts nils

[Ashley Moran]

Hi

Just noticed that the behaviour of

   @cow.should_not be_hungry

is not the same as

   @cow.hungry?.should == false # nil also passes

Don't know how this has escaped me for so long =)

What's the thinking behind this?  You can already do

   @cow.hungry?.should(_not) be_nil

so surely it makes more sense for be_true and be_false to check for  
booleans?

Ashley
