Question

I’m generally clear on bundler Gemfile options, but I’m not sure why rspec (specifically, rspec-rails) should be in both test and development.

Here are my test groupings:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails'
  gem 'faker'
end

group :test do
  gem "factory_girl_rails"
  gem "capybara"
  gem 'guard-rspec'
  gem 'rb-fsevent'
  gem 'growl'
end

Does this look ok?

Answer 1

I am quoting the official documentation:

Add rspec-rails to the :test and :development groups in the Gemfile:

group :test, :development do   
    gem "rspec-rails", "~> 2.6" 
end

It needs to be in the :development group to expose generators and rake
tasks without having to type RAILS_ENV=test.
