This was a failed project. I ran into way to much trouble configuring the various gems required to make rspec work fast enough for it to be worth using.
I will be upgrading my development environment to accomodate for Rspec in the coming weeks/months but there were to many unsupported dependencies on windows for this to be worthwhile
I am instead going to be using Minitest for testing for the next few weeks
Here is a gist with a really cool introductory exercise I worked on instead: gist.github.com/vike27/2ae0d425f46c01851e15
More to come!
