I recently started a little new project. But since I were very spoiled by all the glitter of rails development, I struggled some time setting up rspec and autotest for my new project. And … Mea Culpa! It really is that simple.
Simply create a spec/spec_helper.rb file, to require rspec and the
libs that you want to test. Maybe it’s gonna be a gem, so you have to
adjust the load path.
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', 'lib'))
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.dirname(__FILE__))
require 'rubygems'
require 'rspec'
require 'my_lib'
Rspec.configure do |config|
# give me something to do!
end
And configure autotest to discover RSpec2 in autotest/discover.rb
Autotest.add_discovery { "rspec2" }
That’s it. Just run autotest in the root of you project.
I added some more like rspec parameters in .rspec and the
autotest/fs-event inside of the .autotest file.
