Is there a way to use relative paths for the Test Runner?

[pprotas]

When I run a test in the VSCode extension it's executed using the absolute path. Our tests run in a Docker container due to our setup, so this results in the following error:

cannot load such file -- /Users/my-user/...../....._spec.rb

Is there a way to run the spec using a relative path so that it works with the Docker container?

Did you already try to configure VS Code to connect to the container (docs)?

I do not want to be annoying, but that's another problem with dockerized env, that can be addressed by proposed solution: #2919

Workaround with a wrapper script:

Create rspec_wrapper and then chmod +x rspec_wrapper:

#!/bin/bash

# Get the absolute path from the argument
ABS_PATH="$1"

# Get the current working directory
CURRENT_DIR="$PWD"

# Remove the current directory prefix from the absolute path
REL_PATH="${ABS_PATH#"$CURRENT_DIR"/}"

# Run the command with the relative path
bin/rspec "$REL_PATH"

Then in your settings.json:

"rubyLsp.addonSettings": {
  "Ruby LSP Rails": {
    "rspecCommand": "./rspec_wrapper"
  }
},

Adjust the rspec_wrapper script to your liking. For example, to pass the path to some docker container:

docker exec -t my-container bin/rspec "$REL_PATH"
