A simple method to add to test helpers for displaying error messages

flay.rb

# assumptions: rails, object responds to errors  
# in your test use this line where object is the object being validated
# :msg => flay_the_errors(__method__).call( object.errors)
def flay_the_errors( method )
  Proc.new do |x|
    y = "\n### oh noes #{method} failed! ###\n"
    y << "Full Inspect:\n"
    y << x.inspect << "\n"
    x.each {|k,v| y << "- #{k} #{v}\n"}
    y
  end
end
