add to your Gemfile
group :development, :test do
gem ‘rspec-rails’
end
gem ‘rspec-rails’
end
Be sure to bundle install after changing your Gemfile
rails generate rspec:install
This creates a few files in your project:
| .rspec | a config file. (By default only --colour is in this file which turns on colored output) |
| spec | a directory that will store all of the various model, controller, view, acceptance and other specs for your app |
| spec/spec_helper.rb | a file that’s loaded by every spec will have require ‘spec_helper’ at the top. This sets the test environment, contains app level RSpec configuration items, and loads support files |
To run specs, type rake at the command line. If you want to isolate just the model tests, you can run rake spec:models
