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 prefixing `it`, `specify`, or `example` with an x
  6. example with no docstring and pending method using documentation formatter
  7. pending with no docstring using documentation formatter
  8. conditionally pending examples
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 prefixing `it`, `specify`, or `example` with an x
Given
a file named "temporarily_pending_spec.rb" with: 
describe "an example" do
  xit "is pending using xit" do
  end

  xspecify "is pending using xspecify" do
  end

  xexample "is pending using xexample" do
  end
end
When
I run rspec temporarily_pending_spec.rb
Then
the exit status should be 0
And
the output should contain "3 examples, 0 failures, 3 pending"
And
the output should contain: 
Pending:
  an example is pending using xit
    # Not Yet Implemented
    # ./temporarily_pending_spec.rb:2
  an example is pending using xspecify
    # Not Yet Implemented
    # ./temporarily_pending_spec.rb:5
  an example is pending using xexample
    # Not Yet Implemented
    # ./temporarily_pending_spec.rb:8
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 eq(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 eq(7)
  end
  pending do
    "string".reverse.should eq("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)
conditionally pending examples
Given
a file named "conditionally_pending_spec.rb" with: 
describe "a failing spec" do
  def run_test; raise "failure"; end

  it "is pending when pending with a true :if condition" do
    pending("true :if", :if => true) { run_test }
  end

  it "fails when pending with a false :if condition" do
    pending("false :if", :if => false) { run_test }
  end

  it "is pending when pending with a false :unless condition" do
    pending("false :unless", :unless => false) { run_test }
  end

  it "fails when pending with a true :unless condition" do
    pending("true :unless", :unless => true) { run_test }
  end
end

describe "a passing spec" do
  def run_test; true.should be(true); end

  it "fails when pending with a true :if condition" do
    pending("true :if", :if => true) { run_test }
  end

  it "passes when pending with a false :if condition" do
    pending("false :if", :if => false) { run_test }
  end

  it "fails when pending with a false :unless condition" do
    pending("false :unless", :unless => false) { run_test }
  end

  it "passes when pending with a true :unless condition" do
    pending("true :unless", :unless => true) { run_test }
  end
end
When
I run rspec ./conditionally_pending_spec.rb
Then
the output should contain "8 examples, 4 failures, 2 pending"
And
the output should contain: 
Pending:
  a failing spec is pending when pending with a true :if condition
    # true :if
    # ./conditionally_pending_spec.rb:4
  a failing spec is pending when pending with a false :unless condition
    # false :unless
    # ./conditionally_pending_spec.rb:12
And
the output should contain: 
  1) a failing spec fails when pending with a false :if condition
     Failure/Error: def run_test; raise "failure"; end
And
the output should contain: 
  2) a failing spec fails when pending with a true :unless condition
     Failure/Error: def run_test; raise "failure"; end
And
the output should contain: 
  3) a passing spec fails when pending with a true :if condition FIXED
     Expected pending 'true :if' to fail. No Error was raised.
And
the output should contain: 
  4) a passing spec fails when pending with a false :unless condition FIXED
     Expected pending 'false :unless' to fail. No Error was raised.
