Tweaks the built-in RSpec formatters to cause failures to be printed immediately when they occur.
This gem, featured in Effective Testing with RSpec 3: Build Ruby Apps with
Confidence,
modifies the built-in progress and documentation formatters to make
them print failures eagerly, when they happen, rather than waiting
until the end to print them all. This can be handy for long-running spec
suites so you can begin digging into a failure while the rest of your
suite finishes running.
Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:
gem 'rspec-print_failures_eagerly'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install rspec-print_failures_eagerly
Just load it from spec/spec_helper.rb:
require 'rspec/print_failures_eagerly'
…or tell RSpec to require it by putting it in .rspec:
--require rspec/print_failures_eagerly
That’s it! The book also walks through how to set it up to
automatically apply to all projects on your machine, without
needing to add this gem to each.
