Installing RSpec for Rails 3

14 April 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
