All, Has anyone on this list tried to use DeepTest[1] with rspec? My initial attempts have failed so I would be really interested if someone has figured it out. Thanks. -Ben 1. http://www.somethingnimble.com/bliki/deep-test

If I recall correctly, it only worked on test/unit. I don''t know if anyone else was working on a version for rspec... As for spec_distributed, I had gotten it working, and as I recall, it was pretty easy to do (at least, on a non-rails project). The documentation for that is pretty straight forward. It solves the speed problem by throwing hardware at the problem - If you have n number of machines, your test suite should take 1/n the amount of time it usually does on one machine (assuming the machines of equal processing power). Happy Hacking, Scott

There were some comments in Dan''s original post about someone working on rspec compatibility but as far as I can tell that never made it into the gem.> As for spec_distributed, I had gotten it working, and as I recall, it > was pretty easy to do (at least, on a non-rails project).

The only use I could see of this would be for running your CI faster over a number of machines... Thanks for you input, Ben

I''m sure I''m not the only one who would like to know if you took up the job of getting deep test to run w/ rspec. Regards, Scott
David Vollbracht spiked an rspec implementation for DeepTest: svn diff -r 20:21 http://deep-test.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk Unfortunately nobody has had time to finish it. If anybody is interested in working on it, that would be awesome. I can give you repo access.
