I am working on my first Rails BDD project with extensive tests since starting out with Rails a few years ago.
Running RSpec or Cucumber is really slow. I'm using Rails 3 and RSpec 2. To run one model spec with only 5 tests takes almost 1 minute! When it finishes it says it took only 0.9 seconds to run the actual test. So obviously it is loading the environment that takes so long. I just restarted my machine as I read somewhere that can make a difference, but no joy for me. Its very frustrating and time consuming - I am usually running tests then going off to do something else while I wait for that to finish, its really spoiling my work flow..! I read somewhere that even 15 seconds is a long time... 1 minute is ridiculous! Also that Java test suites can run hundreds of examples in less than 2 seconds. I wish !! I have looked into Spork, but this is not Rails 3 compatible yet. Is there anything I can do to make this better?
