automatically find and load 3rd party test macros
Reported by Tammer Saleh | August 4th, 2008 @ 03:40 PM
Since we're writing lots of macros for our apps, and it's becoming hard to keep track of them, we started a convention of putting each macro (or set of macros) in a separate file under test/macros/.
Shoulda should search for any test/macros/*.rb file, and automatically require it. In addition, to make it easy for plugin/gem authors to include shoulda macros, we should require the vendor/plugins/*/shoulda_macros/*.rb and vendor/gems/*/shoulda_macros/*.rb files.

For consistency, I'd like the test version to use the same naming convention. e.g. test/shoulda_macros/*.rb instead of test/macros/*.rb

Dan - good point, and I agree. we were using "macros" before, but renaming is worth it.

Tammer,
This would be worth a blog post after a few shoulda macros have been created in other gems/plugins (so people can see examples). It should also be stressed that macros need to be tested.
