Installing RSpec for Rails 3

Wed Apr 14 20:48:06 -0700 2010

Installing RSpec for Rails 3 was quite simple, here is a short guide to make sure you can also do it :)

For a Rails 3 app, simply edit the Gemfile and put this into the test section:

group :test do
  gem "rspec-rails",      ">= 2.0.0.beta"
  gem "autotest"
  gem "autotest-rails"
end

Then from your Rails root do:

$ bundle install

Once installed, you will need to tell RSpec to install itself:

 $ script/rails g rspec:install
       exist  lib
      create  lib/tasks/rspec.rake
       exist  config/initializers
      create  config/initializers/rspec_generator.rb
       exist  spec
      create  spec/spec_helper.rb
      create  autotest
      create  autotest/discover.rb

Then you should just be able to run Autotest:

 $ autotest
loading autotest/rails_rspec2
style: RailsRspec2

    On a related note. It seems the RSpec bundle for TextMate needs updating. The bundle’s spec file generator (shift+control+down_arrow) is inserting the spec stub code into the source file instead of the generated spec file.

    Sometimes, people need to be the right procedure installing. It happens because the installation will effect the performance. Then, people should read the guide in installing.

    Perhaps the biggest advantage of rpsec over XUnit type unit testing is that I get to specify my object behavior prior to writing a single line of code for the object in something that looks, feels like English, which is something I’m fairly fluent in. criminal lawyer fort lauderdale
