pretty errors for: aString.should == aDiffString

Reported by Dr Nic | November 2nd, 2008 @ 04:57 AM

Apparently rspec has a --diff option (ruby some_spec.rb --diff) so that string comparisons are displayed as diffs rather than showing both strings.

Is there a way to enabled this for the cucumber app?

Currently not implemented in Cucumber, but the RSpec code could be reused from Cucumber.

However - we should avoid hard deps on RSpec, so we'll probably "borrow" the diff code instead so that people not using RSpec can get diffs too.
