This plugin provides an RSpec adapter for the Neotest framework.

:package: Installation

Install with the package manager of your choice:

Lazy

{
  "nvim-neotest/neotest",
  lazy = true,
  dependencies = {
    ...,
    "olimorris/neotest-rspec",
  },
  config = function()
    require("neotest").setup({
      ...,
      adapters = {
        require("neotest-rspec")
      },
    })
  end
}

Packer

use({
  "nvim-neotest/neotest",
  requires = {
    ...,
    "olimorris/neotest-rspec",
  },
  config = function()
    require("neotest").setup({
      ...,
      adapters = {
        require("neotest-rspec"),
      }
    })
  end
})

:wrench: Configuration

Default configuration

[!NOTE] You only need to the call the setup function if you wish to change any of the defaults

<details> <summary>Click to see the default configuration</summary>
adapters = {
  require("neotest-rspec")({
    rspec_cmd = function()
      return vim.tbl_flatten({
        "bundle",
        "exec",
        "rspec",
      })
    end,
    root_files = { "Gemfile", ".rspec", ".gitignore" },
    filter_dirs = { ".git", "node_modules" },
    transform_spec_path = function(path)
      return path
    end,
    results_path = function()
      return async.fn.tempname()
    end
  }),
}
</details>

The test command

The command used to run tests can be changed via the rspec_cmd option:

require("neotest-rspec")({
  rspec_cmd = function()
    return vim.tbl_flatten({
      "bundle",
      "exec",
      "rspec",
    })
  end
})

One issue you can run into is when you use generated tests:

RSpec.describe SomeClass do
  describe "some feature" do
    FIXTURES.each do |method, path|
      it "does something with the #{method} and #{path}" do
        # ...
      end
    end
  end
end

The test will show as passing if any one of the tests pass instead of if all of them pass. You can change the test command to use --fail-fast to fix this. However now your other tests will all fail if even a single test fails.

To solve this you can customize your command depending on the type of test you are running by using the optional positional argument position_type

require("neotest-rspec")({
  -- Optionally your function can take a position_type which is one of:
  -- - "file"
  -- - "test"
  -- - "dir"
  rspec_cmd = function(position_type)
    if position_type == "test" then
      return vim.tbl_flatten({
        "bundle",
        "exec",
        "rspec",
        "--fail-fast"
      })
    else
      return vim.tbl_flatten({
        "bundle",
        "exec",
        "rspec",
      })
    end
 end
})

Now when you run your tests from a single test it will fail fast and show the correct error on your generated tests. When you run the whole file it won't fail fast and a single error won't cause all your other tests to fail.

Setting the root directory

For Neotest adapters to work, they need to define a project root whereby the process of discovering tests can take place. By default, the adapter looks for a Gemfile, .rspec or .gitignore file. These can be changed with:

require("neotest-rspec")({
  root_files = { "README.md" }
})

You can even set root_files with a function which returns a table:

require("neotest-rspec")({
  root_files = function() return { "README.md" } end
})

Filtering directories

By default, the adapter will search for _spec.rb files in all dirs in the root with the exception of node_modules and .git. You can change this with:

require("neotest-rspec")({
  filter_dirs = { "my_custom_dir" }
})

You can even set filter_dirs with a function which returns a table:

require("neotest-rspec")({
  filter_dirs = function() return { "my_custom_dir" } end
})

Running tests in a Docker container

The following configuration overrides rspec_cmd to run a Docker container (using docker-compose) and overrides transform_spec_path to pass the spec file as a relative path instead of an absolute path to RSpec. The results_path needs to be set to a location which is available to both the container and the host.

require("neotest").setup({
  adapters = {
    require("neotest-rspec")({
      rspec_cmd = function()
        return vim.tbl_flatten({
          "docker",
          "compose",
          "exec",
          "-i",
          "-w", "/app",
          "-e", "RAILS_ENV=test",
          "app",
          "bundle",
          "exec",
          "rspec"
        })
      end,

      transform_spec_path = function(path)
        local prefix = require('neotest-rspec').root(path)
        return string.sub(path, string.len(prefix) + 2, -1)
      end,

      results_path = "tmp/rspec.output"
    })
  }
})

Alternatively, you can accomplish this using a shell script as your RSpec command. See this comment for an example.

:rocket: Usage

[!IMPORTANT] In order for the adapter to work, your RSpec tests must end in _spec.rb

Test single function

To test a single test, hover over the test and run require("neotest").run.run()

Test file

To test a file run require("neotest").run.run(vim.fn.expand("%"))

Test directory

To test a directory run require("neotest").run.run("path/to/directory")

Test suite

To test the full test suite run require("neotest").run.run("path/to/root_project") e.g. require("neotest").run.run(vim.fn.getcwd()), presuming that vim's directory is the same as the project root.

Debug test

In order to enable DAP for a test or test suite, ensure that nvim-dap and nvim-dap-ruby are installed and follow the strategies docs. An example snippet can be found below.

require("neotest").run.run({ strategy = "dap" })

This will run the closest test under DAP.
