First, it was great meeting a bunch of you at RailsConf.

Recently I've run into a problem using RSpec, namely its support for multiple mocking frameworks. Wait you say, isn't that a good thing? Yes, it is until you end up mixing frameworks.

I was writing my latest app, and I choose to get the app working and then add in the authentication system. So I went and wrote all my test using Mocha, and everything was all peachy. Then I went to github and got the latest version of restful_authentication. To the console, "script/generated authenticated user sessions --rspec", and run the test suite.

BOOM!!!!

It turns out that Rick Olson wrote all the specs for RESTful Authentication using RSpec's built-in mocking, and that didn't play nicely with Mocha being declared in the spec.opts file.

I think it would be nice to be able to set a mock framework per example group or spec file.

I'll grab a fork and start looking at it, but if you have any suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Andrew
