Question

I want to be able to run a single spec file’s tests — for the one file I’m editing, for example. rake spec executes all the specs. My project is not a Rails project, so rake spec:doc doesn’t work.

Don’t know if this matters, but here is my directory structure.

 ./Rakefile ./lib ./lib/cushion.rb ./lib/cushion ./lib/cushion/doc.rb ./lib/cushion/db.rb ./spec ./spec/spec.opts ./spec/spec_helper.rb ./spec/db_spec.rb 

Answer 1

Or you can skip rake and use the ‘rspec’ command:

bundle exec rspec path/to/spec/file.rb 

In your case I think as long as your ./spec/db_spec.rb file includes the appropriate helpers, it should work fine.

If you’re using an older version of rspec it is:

bundle exec spec path/to/spec/file.rb
