rspec users - Mar 2013 - Assign default tag

Hi all
Could somebody tell me, is it possible to assign some tag=>value to all
examples in directory?

Like I want to mark all tests in spec/unit as
:type=>''shallow''. And have
some tests in other directory also with type shallow (assigned in describe)
And then filter them with -t type:shallow


Thanks
Ivan

Unfortunately, there''s nothing built in to support this. I''d
recommend
you submit a feature request to
http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues.

Cheers,
David

I do this:

    config.include RSpec::Rails::ViewExampleGroup, type: :presenter,
example_group: {
      file_path: config.escaped_path(%w[spec presenters])
    }

and it appears to work for me.  But David would know better than I.

Am I fooling myself somehow?  Or did I misunderstand the question?

Thanks,
Perry

Actually that does point to a solution. The trick is the OP wants to
add a tag to the groups in that directory so that those examples can
be filtered, which means it has to be added _before_ filtering
happens. I hadn''t thought there was a good way to do this, but your
example reminded me there is, sort of. The caveat is that this is a
bit magical and relies on a somewhat buried API that may or may not be
supported in the long term. That said, for now you _can_ do this:

module ShallowExampleGroup
  def self.included(host)
    host.metadata[:type] = ''shallow''
  end
end

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include ShallowExampleGroup, example_group: {
    file_path: config.escaped_path(%w[spec unit])
  }
end

HTH,
David
