A nicer way to run RSpec and/or Cucumber

geordi Show archive.org snapshot , our collection of awesome shell scripts, has been extended by three scripts to help you call RSpec or Cucumber:

cuc

This script runs Cucumber the way you want it:

• Prints some line feeds to easily find your test results when you come back to the console later
• Configures Cucumber to use cucumber_spinner Show archive.org snapshot if it is available in your Gemfile
• Runs Cucumber under bundle exec
• Uses an old version of Firefox for Selenium (Javascript) features if you setup your system that way
• Runs features in parallel if parallel_tests gem was found in you Gemfile and no rerun.txt with content exists
• [UPDATE] You can pass all cucumber command line options to the cuc script even if the tests are executed with parallel_tests.

Example usage:

Copycuc # runs all features
cuc features/users.feature # only run one feature
cuc -f pretty -t wip features/users.feature # run one feature with parameters like cucumber

rs

This script runs RSpec the way you want it:

• Prints some line feeds to easily find your test results when you come back to the console later
• Calls RSpec 1 (spec) in a Rails 2 project and RSpec 2 (rspec) in a Rails 3 project
• Configures RSpec to use rspec_spinner Show archive.org snapshot if it is available in your Gemfile
• If rspec_spinner is unavailable, switches on color output
• Runs all examples in spec if you don't give an argument
• Runs RSpec under bundle exec
• Runs examples in parallel if parallel_tests gem was found in you Gemfile

Example usage:

Copyrs # runs all examples
rs spec/models/user_spec.rb # only runs one example

tests/test

This runs all your tests for a full check against regressions:

• Deletes a rerun.txt from earlier Cucumber failures
• Runs rs
• Runs cuc if rs succeeds

You can install all the scripts in the geordi toolbox by saying

Copygem install geordi
