Question

Is there any way within an RSpec tests, by convention or code, to have rails start before tests run? I’m trying to setup a testing framework for selenium tests that use chrome, and now I’m only hindered by my lack of a running server.

require 'spec_helper'

describe 'The first tab' do
  before(:each) do
    @driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome
  end

  it 'Shows the list' do
    @driver.navigate.to 'index.html'
  end
end

I’m new to RSpec, so I’m not sure how I would create a suite of tests that all ran while a rails server was running.

Answer 1

Just run rails server and kill the process went tests complete.
