RSpec documentation...where is it hiding?

Having a terrible time finding RSpec-2 (and rspec-rails) documentation. Specifically I want to look up all available Matchers... but how?

I've tried:

  • RSpec.info : outdated - RSpec 1.x
  • rdoc.info : seems useless, to me anyway. (incomplete?)
  • RSpec-Relish : confusing. incomplete? how would one look up available Matchers?
  • GitHub Wiki : scattered info. unorganized. incomplete?

Yes, I'm aware of The Book...but, seriously, isn't this stuff online?

Even tried rake doc:plugins but it didn't work. Too green to know why...

apparently there used to be some decent 1.x docs on rspec.rubyforge.org. but they're appear to be long gone...

Where are these docs hiding?

The first place to go is the official Relish docs, they have gotten a significant improvement over the years and are now my first place to look.

At the time of writing this answer originally, this gist was solid. It contains matchers for the following:

Not sure why you feel rdoc.info isn't useful - here's the matcher docs there:

http://rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-expectations/2.0.1/RSpec/Matchers

It may be that you're looking in the wrong spot; these were in the RSpec::Expectations gem, which is split out from the core in Rspec 2.
