Skipping Slow Specs

Testing RSpec
1

Hi!

I have a slow spec. Before anyone shouts, it’s an service integration
test,
that needs the server available. As I don’t have this server near every
time, is there an easy way to skip this spec during rake spec /
autospec? I
ended renaming the file, which is IMO, ugly.

Any ideas?

rspec-2 offers filtering, but rspec-1 does not. If you’re using rspec-2,
you can do this:

it “does something expensive”, :slow => true do
…
end

Rspec.configure do |c|
c.exclusion_filter = {:slow => true}
end

HTH,
