Spec templates

David et al,

Has anyone ever toyed with the idea of templates for specs? I have a
relative consistent way of specing models, controllers, etc, and
invariably, I have to delete the stock code that the rspec generator
creates and add a bunch of stuff that I always want. I was just thinking
it would be nice of there were a way to have my own template for models,
controllers, etc and not have to do so much repetitive work for every
spec. Maybe it could be as easy as having a folder such as

spec/templates

and in that have

model_spec.rb
controller_spec.rb
view_spec.rb
helper_spec.rb

There would have to be a bit of standardization regarding placeholders
in those files, but it shouldn’t be unbearable, especially considering
what it could offer.

Thoughts?

Peace,
Phillip

You could always define your own generators with your own templates.
I’d probably try that first and see how well it works.

That’s a good idea, foca. Thanks. I’ll give it a try.
