Configuration for Spork & Rspec2 & autotest

.rspec

--drb
-c

instruction

1. Install gems
gem install ZenTest autotest-rails
gem install spork --pre

2. Modify spec/spec_helper.rb
use 'spork --bootstrap' will add some instructions into your spec_helper.rb, Open up that file and follow the instructions. (see below example file)

3. Modify app_root/.rspec
add --drb option and other options if you like. (see below example file)

4. Fire up spork in one window.
spork

5. Run your specs in another.
autotest
or
rspec xxx.spec

If this fails to use spork, try including --drb manually: rspec --drb xxx.spec

6. To get the TextMate RSpec bundle to use spork, go to Preferences > Advanced > Shell Variables and set TM_RSPEC_OPTS to --drb.

spec_helper.rb

require 'rubygems'
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 'rails/all'
  require 'rspec/rails'
  RSpec.configure do |config|
    config.mock_with :rspec
  end
end

Spork.each_run do
  # This code will be run each time you run your specs.
  require 'wulin_master'

end

# --- Instructions ---
# Sort the contents of this file into a Spork.prefork and a Spork.each_run
# block.
#
# The Spork.prefork block is run only once when the spork server is started.
# You typically want to place most of your (slow) initializer code in here, in
# particular, require'ing any 3rd-party gems that you don't normally modify
# during development.
#
# The Spork.each_run block is run each time you run your specs.  In case you
# need to load files that tend to change during development, require them here.
# With Rails, your application modules are loaded automatically, so sometimes
# this block can remain empty.
#
# Note: You can modify files loaded *from* the Spork.each_run block without
# restarting the spork server.  However, this file itself will not be reloaded,
# so if you change any of the code inside the each_run block, you still need to
# restart the server.  In general, if you have non-trivial code in this file,
# it's advisable to move it into a separate file so you can easily edit it
# without restarting spork.  (For example, with RSpec, you could move
# non-trivial code into a file spec/support/my_helper.rb, making sure that the
# spec/support/* files are require'd from inside the each_run block.)
#
# Any code that is left outside the two blocks will be run during preforking
# *and* during each_run -- that's probably not what you want.
#
# These instructions should self-destruct in 10 seconds.  If they don't, feel
# free to delete them.
