There's nothing in RSpec to explicitly handle this for you. There are tools
that will likely be available in RSpec-2 by the time we do a final release, but
they won't work yet for your goal, so for the short run I think you need to
manage this in each example manually. I'd recommend something like:
def capture(exception)
begin
yield
rescue Exception => e
case e
if OneType
# do something
elsif AnotherType
# do something different
end
end
end
it "..." do
capture do
# do stuff
end
end
It's not perfect, but it should work.
