Custom File List for Rails 3 Spec Task

Testing RSpec
1

I have some javascript specs (using the jspec javascript framework) in
my rails 3 project, living in the spec/javascript directory. How can I
exclude the ruby files in the jspec project from being run when I run
“rake spec”?

RSpec::Core::RakeTask used to take a file list (which was usually
generated with a glob pattern and an explicit call to Dir.glob). Now it
only takes a glob pattern:

http://rdoc.info/github/rspec/rspec-core/master/RSpec/Core/RakeTask#pattern-instance_method

So how am I supposed to express the following in one glob pattern?

Dir.glob(“spec//*_spec.rb") - Dir.glob("spec/javascript//*_spec.rb”)

Or is there a better way that I’m missing entirely,

Best,

Scott

Hey Scott,

Something like:
“spec/{models,views,controllers,helpers,requests}/**/*_spec.rb”

You’d have to include any dirs I left out (if you have any others) in
the curly brackets. Do you think that’s sufficient?

Cheers,
David

Thanks David. I didn’t realize Dir.glob was so capable.

Here’s what I ended up coming up with. Notice that I had to remove the
rspec task as it was previously defined (by rspec itself):

Cheers,

Scott
