A Emacs mode for running rspec specs

Just require the file in your configuration:

(add-to-list 'load-path "<path_to_rspec_simple>")
(require 'rspec-simple)

Available commands

rspec-simple provides following interactive functions that you can use:

• rspec-compile-on-line - Run spec where the cursor is.
• rspec-compile-file - Run entire spec file.
• rspec-find-related-file - Toggle between spec and code. Implementation very different from toggle.el. Integrates with ido-mode and does depth first search of related file (In other words, much smarter than toggle.el)
• rspec-display-file-outline - Display rspec outline (bit like dry run). The generated outline is navigatable via mouse or keyboard! Implemented using ripper.

You can define following shortcut in your ruby-mode-hook:

(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
     (lambda ()
        (local-set-key (kbd "C-c l") 'rspec-compile-on-line)
        (local-set-key (kbd "C-c k") 'rspec-compile-file)
        (local-set-key (kbd "s-t") 'rspec-find-related-file)

Then in ruby-mode you should have access to following keys:

Ctrl-c l - Run spec on line
Ctrl-c k - Run entire spec file

The specs are run by starting your chosen shell and hence it should automatically pick version of Ruby configured via rbenv or rvm.

If your shell is not being picked correctly you can as well try:

(setq shell-file-name "zsh")
(setq shell-command-switch "-c")
