I think it's better to make them separate. Conceptually, the story
runner slightly confuses the identity of what RSpec is - is it for
specifying behaviour of individual classes (a la TDD) or is it for
specifying the behaviour of the whole system? I think the describe /
it / should thing is powerful enough in its own right as a way to
express behaviour of individual classes. Coming from writing XUnit
tests I absolutely love it - it's such a natural way to describe the
desired behaviour.
Presumably you might also end up needing something like a Cucumber-
Rails plugin, or are you envisaging tying Cucumber to rails?
cheers,

And this is going to be distributed as a separate plug-in from RSpec?
For the time being it is in a separate Git repo. It can be built as a
gem and installed as a gem. Rails users can also install it as a
plugin.
We haven't decided yet whether it will continue to be in a separate
repo or added to the RSpec codebase. From a maintenance perspective I
think it's easier to keep things separate and small than lump
everything together in a big codebase. From a Rails user perspective
it means you need to install 3 plugins instead of 2
(RSpec+RSpec-Rails+Cucumber).
What do you think is the best thing to do?
