Ruby Screenshot of the Week #29: Test Navigator for RSpec

Let's start with the screenshot: The thing to notice here is that we have a number of RSpec do-blocks in this file. Until now, only classes, methods, fields and attributes were showing up in the navigator. But in the latest daily builds, rspec do blocks like these are shown in the navigator (bottom left corner), along with the string summary (if any) such that you can quickly navigate between them. Placing the caret in one of these blocks will highlight the corresponding item in the navigator. Adding a better navigator outline for spec files has been on the TODO list for a while, but apparently in the latest Rails builds regular tests are also switching away from using test methods to using test blocks (according to issue 137925, thanks James). So it seemed high time to do something about this. The other thing to notice is that these blocks are also folded, so you can use Command-Shift-+ and - to collapse/expand all blocks quickly. By the way, another old issue was fixed in NetBeans recently, which makes it easy to configure filetypes. In the past, if you wanted say .mab files to get Ruby treatment in the IDE, you'd file an issue and I'd modify the Ruby mimetype resolver to include it. The list is already pretty long -- .rb, .rake, .rxml, .rjs, .rbw, .rbx, .mab, .builder, .gemspec, and so on.
