Having used JUnit and Test::Unit, I'm quite used to having the ability to insert a failure message, which helps when tests fail.<br><br>For instance, the example RSpec that is generated for a model class specifies that the model class is valid. Assuming this were supposed to be true, and it failed, I've now got to duplicate the code in the test in order to find out why it wasn't valid.
<br><br>Whereas if I were writing the same code in Test::Unit, I might write:<br> assert model.valid?, "Expected model to be valid, but found these errors: #{model.errors}"<br><br>This means that when the model validation fails, I know /why/. I don't see an easy way to include these sorts of messages in RSpec, which seems likely to cause me to waste time on test failures. Am I missing something? How are experienced RSpec users resolving this?
