not enough 'require' to run correctly spec/hunk_spec.rb

[boutil]

Hi,

When running rspec on a checkout of the repository, I get:

Failed examples:

rspec ./spec/hunk_spec.rb:17 # Diff::LCS::Hunk should be able to produce a unified diff from the two pieces
rspec ./spec/hunk_spec.rb:26 # Diff::LCS::Hunk should be able to produce a context diff from the two pieces
rspec ./spec/hunk_spec.rb:38 # Diff::LCS::Hunk should be able to produce an old diff from the two pieces
rspec ./spec/hunk_spec.rb:49 # Diff::LCS::Hunk should be able to produce a reverse ed diff from the two pieces
rspec ./spec/hunk_spec.rb:62 # Diff::LCS::Hunk with empty first data set should be able to produce a unified diff

they all fail with the following error:

 NameError:
       uninitialized constant Diff::LCS::Hunk

There is no 'require' chain loading lib/diff/lcs/hunk.rb from spec_helper. Adding require 'diff/lcs/hunk' to either spec/spec_helper.rb or spec/hunk_spec.rb does the trick.

This bug is also referenced by the Debian project:

Thank you for reporting this. It would have been nice if Debian had reported this upstream.

[boutil]

it just did. I am the Debian maintainer of the package :)

[halostatue]

Ah. ;) I will get this fixed soon.

The same on Fedora :)

Workaround for running the test suite I am using:

$ rspec -rdiff/lcs -rdiff/lcs/hunk spec
