Rspec::PendingFor
Easiest to just show you:
it("blah is blah") do
pending_for(:engine => "rbx")
pending_for(:engine => "truffleruby")
pending_for(:engine => "ruby", :versions => "2.1.5")
pending_for(:engine => "jruby", :versions => "2.2.2", :reason => "due to a bug in Ruby")
pending_for(:engine => "ruby", :versions => "2.0.0", :reason => "because I don't have the time")
expect("blah").to(eq("blah"))
end
I expect the current release of this gem to be compatible with Ruby 1.8.7+, but it is only tested on CI against Ruby 1.9.3+, due to the inherent limitations of GitHub Actions.

Installation
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add rspec-pending_for
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install rspec-pending_for
Usage
The gem autoconfigures itself for use in your Rspec suite. Just add this line to yous spec_helper.rb:
require "rspec/pending_for"
To mark a spec pending for a specific ruby engine, and/or versions:
it("blah is blah") do
pending_for(:engine => "ruby", :versions => "2.1.5")
expect("blah").to(eq("blah"))
end
To skip a spec for a specific ruby engine, and/or versions:
it("blah is blah") do
skip_for(:engine => "ruby", :versions => "2.1.5")
expect("blah").to(eq("blah"))
end
To mark a spec pending for all versions of a given engine:
it("blah is blah") do
pending_for(:engine => "jruby")
expect("blah").to(eq("blah"))
end
To mark a spec pending for a custom reason (overriding the default message):
it("blah is blah") do
pending_for(:engine => "jruby", :reason => "This does not work on JRuby")
expect("blah").to(eq("blah"))
end
To mark a spec pending or skipped for multiple engines and versions, just what you would expect:
it("blah is blah") do
skip_for(:engine => "jruby", :reason => "This does not work on JRuby so skipping for now") # All JRuby versions will be skipped
pending_for(:engine => "rbx", :reason => "This does not work on Rubinius so pending for now") # All rbx versions will be pending
pending_for(:engine => "ruby", :versions => %w(1.9.3 2.0.0 2.1.0)) # uses the default message
expect("blah").to(eq("blah"))
end

🤝 Contributing
If you need some ideas of where to help, you could work on adding more code coverage, or if it is already 💯 (see below) then check issues, or PRs, or use the gem and think about how it could be better.
We so if you make changes, remember to update it.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for more detailed instructions.

⭐️ Star History
📌 Versioning
This Library adheres to .
Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs.
Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility,
a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility.
Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.
📌 Is "Platform Support" part of the public API?
Yes. But I'm obligated to include notes...
SemVer should, but doesn't explicitly, say that dropping support for specific Platforms is a breaking change to an API. It is obvious to many, but not all, and since the spec is silent, the bike shedding is endless.
dropping support for a platform is both obviously and objectively a breaking change
- Jordan Harband (@ljharb) in SemVer issue 716
To get a better understanding of how SemVer is intended to work over a project's lifetime, read this article from the creator of SemVer:
As a result of this policy, and the interpretive lens used by the maintainer, you can (and should) specify a dependency on these libraries using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.
For example:
spec.add_dependency("rspec-pending_for", "~> 0.1")

🤑 One more thing
You made it to the bottom of the page, so perhaps you'll indulge me for another 20 seconds. I maintain many dozens of gems, including this one, because I want Ruby to be a great place for people to solve problems, big and small. Please consider supporting my efforts via the giant yellow link below, or one of the others at the head of this README.
