rails testing environment setup

在Gemfile中添加

group :development do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.6.1'
end

group :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.6.1'
end

bundle install

In order to get Rails to use RSpec in place of Test::Unit, we need to install the files needed by RSpec. This can be accomplished with rails generate:

rails generate rspec:install

安装autotest

$ [sudo] gem install autotest -v 4.4.6
$ [sudo] gem install autotest-rails-pure -v 4.1.2

修改完下面这个bug就可以在工程目录中运行autotest进行自动测试了

 changing line 226 from:

# hacky_discovery = Gem::Specification.any? { |s| s.name =~ /^rspec/ }
to

# hacky_discovery = true

add spork

gem 'spork', '0.9.0.rc8'

 bundle install

bundle exec spork --bootstrap

require 'spork'

Spork.prefork do
  # Loading more in this block will cause your tests to run faster. However, 
  # if you change any configuration or code from libraries loaded here, you'll
  # need to restart spork for it take effect.
  ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
  require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
  require 'rspec/rails'

  # Requires supporting files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
  # in ./support/ and its subdirectories.
  Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

  RSpec.configure do |config|
    # == Mock Framework
    #
    # If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
    #
    # config.mock_with :mocha
    # config.mock_with :flexmock
    # config.mock_with :rr
    config.mock_with :rspec

    config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

    # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
    # examples within a transaction, comment the following line or assign false
    # instead of true.
    config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
  end
end

Spork.each_run do
end

Adding the --drb option to the .rspec file.
