rspec users - Nov 2006 - Focused Specs/Tests in Non-Textmate editors

Hello,

I wrote a script that runs a focused spec/test from the filename and line
number.
I bound this to an external tool in my Idea environment.

Very cool. I think we should add a -l --line option to the spec
command to make this an inherent feature of RSpec. It would make tool
integration much easier. I implemented similar functionality in
RSpec.tmbundle (see my patch to Luke Redpath''s code - spec_mate.rb
that I sent to the rspec-devel "Running specs with TextMate bundle"
thread yesterday).

Another noteworthy piece of news is that it''s now much easier to
launch RSpec from Ruby without having to spawn a new ruby via the spec
command:

# Facade to run specs without having to fork a new ruby process (using
`spec ...`)
# Runs specs. +argv+ is the commandline args as per the spec
commandline API, +stderr+
# and +stdiout+ are the streams output will be written to, +exit+
tells whether or
# not a system exit should be called after the specs are run and
# +warn_if_no_files+ tells whether or not a warning (the help message)
# should be printed to +stderr+ in case no files are specified.
Spec::Runner::CommandLine.run(argv, stderr, stdout, exit, warn_if_no_files)

So with a little more work in RSpec you could just call that, passing
in --line as part of the args.
