pending examples

RSpec offers four ways to indicate that an example is disabled pending
some action.

Scenarios
  1. pending implementation
  2. pending any arbitary reason, with no block
  3. pending any arbitary reason, with a block that fails
  4. pending any arbitary reason, with a block that passes
  5. temporarily pending by changing "it" to "xit"
  6. example with no docstring and pending method using documentation formatter
  7. pending with no docstring using documentation formatter
pending implementation
Given
a file named "example_without_block_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  it "is a pending example"
end
When
I run "rspec example_without_block_spec.rb"
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures, 1 pending"
And
the output should contain "Not Yet Implemented"
And
the output should contain "example_without_block_spec.rb:2"
pending any arbitary reason, with no block
Given
a file named "pending_without_block_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  it "is implemented but waiting" do
    pending("something else getting finished")
    this_should_not_get_executed
  end
end
When
I run "rspec pending_without_block_spec.rb"
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures, 1 pending"
And
the output should contain: 
Pending:
  an example is implemented but waiting
    # something else getting finished
    # ./pending_without_block_spec.rb:2
pending any arbitary reason, with a block that fails
Given
a file named "pending_with_failing_block_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  it "is implemented but waiting" do
    pending("something else getting finished") do
      raise "this is the failure"
    end
  end
end
When
I run "rspec pending_with_failing_block_spec.rb"
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures, 1 pending"
And
the output should contain: 
Pending:
  an example is implemented but waiting
    # something else getting finished
    # ./pending_with_failing_block_spec.rb:2
pending any arbitary reason, with a block that passes
Given
a file named "pending_with_passing_block_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  it "is implemented but waiting" do
    pending("something else getting finished") do
      true.should be(true)
    end
  end
end
When
I run "rspec pending_with_passing_block_spec.rb"
Then
the exit status should not be 0
And
the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure"
And
the output should contain "FIXED"
And
the output should contain "Expected pending 'something else getting finished' to fail. No Error was raised."
And
the output should contain "pending_with_passing_block_spec.rb:3"
temporarily pending by changing "it" to "xit"
Given
a file named "pending_with_xit_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  xit "is pending using xit" do
    true.should be(true)
  end
end
When
I run "rspec pending_with_xit_spec.rb"
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "1 example, 0 failures, 1 pending"
And
the output should contain: 
Pending:
  an example is pending using xit
example with no docstring and pending method using documentation formatter
Given
a file named "pending_with_no_docstring_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  it "checks something" do
    (3+4).should == 7
  end
  specify do
    pending
  end
end
When
I run "rspec pending_with_no_docstring_spec.rb --format documentation"
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "2 examples, 0 failures, 1 pending"
And
the output should contain: 
an example
  checks something
   (PENDING: No reason given)
pending with no docstring using documentation formatter
Given
a file named "pending_with_no_docstring_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  it "checks something" do
    (3+4).should == 7
  end
  pending do
    "string".reverse.should == "gnirts"
  end
end
When
I run "rspec pending_with_no_docstring_spec.rb --format documentation"
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "2 examples, 0 failures, 1 pending"
And
the output should contain: 
an example
  checks something
   (PENDING: Not Yet Implemented)
