Thinking Sphinx matchers

Ok, so here I present you my first gem. It was created out of necessity and I hope to both be useful to the community and learn a lot in the process.

I would appreciate feedback very much, in the form of comments, code and/or beer! :-)

Installation

To install the matchers you only have to add the gem to your test group in Gemfile:

 group :test do
   gem 'thinking-sphinx-rspec-matchers'
 end

Use

 describe "fields" do
   it { should index :name, :from => :client, :as => :client_name }
   it { should index :content }
 end

 describe "attributes" do
   it { should have_attribute :user_id, :as => :users }
 end

Field options

    :from
    :as
    :facet
    :sortable

Attribute Field options

    :as
    :facet

Testing

If you are feeling brave and want to test the gem, simply issue a bundle exec rspec. Contributions and enhancements and mostly welcomed!
