Another way to do it instead of the Rake method is what I do...
I create a suite.rb in the spec folder with this...
# suite.rb - run all my tests in this folder and below
if __FILE__ == $0
dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
tests= Dir["#{dir}/**/test_*.rb"] # anything named test_*.rb
tests.concat Dir["#{dir}/**/*_spec.rb"] # anything named *_spec.rb
# add additional tests that don;t follow conventional naming schemes
%w(anotherfile, onemorefile).each do |f|
tests << File.join(dir, f) + ".rb"
end
puts "Testing: #{tests.join(', ')}"
tests.each do |file|
load file, true
end
end
then you can run all your tests via...
> ruby suite.rb
You could also use require instead of load, but I use nasty globals in my tests and I believe the
load doesn't carry over globals.
YMMV

So, we are attempting to use RSpec without rails. What is Rake? Near
the end of your response, you list a way of running multiple spec files
by creating a spec task. Since, I'm not a developer, could you please
provide me with a clear example on how to do this? Or, if there is an
alternative method on doing this, please let me know. Thanks again.
My current setup is:
1 spec file that relies on accessing a module of classes to perform
Watir web app testing. I've included a sample of the code below
describe LoginWelcomeScreen do
describe "using IE Explorer" do
before(:each) do
@login = LoginWelcomeScreen.new(IEWebBrowser.instance)
end
it "should support a username text field" do
@login.test_username_field.should be_an_instance_of(Watir::TextField)
end
it "should support a password text field" do
@login.test_password_field.should
be_an_instance_of(Watir::TextField)
end
.
.
.
.
end

many web applications. Is there a way to execute multiple rspec
test scripts from one central file?

Robert,
Welcome to rspec! There are a number of ways you can do this. You can
do it with the command line:
spec spec/*_spec.rb
The way it is generally done is by using a rake task however...
Are you using rails? If so.. have you run "./script/generate rspec"?
That will install a spec task for you so you just have to type "rake
spec" to run all of your specs.
If you are in a normal ruby app then you can create your own spec task
by putting this in your Rakefile or tasks dir:
require 'rubygems'
require 'spec'
require 'spec/rake/spectask'
desc "Run the specs under spec/models"
Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new do |t|
t.spec_files = FileList['spec/*_spec.rb']
end
If you provide more information on what your setup is we could help
more.
