Adds a new formatting option to rspec that counts your ActiveRecord queries and object creations.
Why? Because database interaction is really slow, and careless creation of large graphs of objects is a primary cause of insanely slow test suites. This project can help you diagnose where you're doing the most damage so that you can start to fix it.
This library plays nicely with DatabaseCleaner.
Normal bundle stuff. You'll almost certainly need to add this gem to your bundle at least temporarily, since you'll be running rspec using bundler.
gem 'rspec-activerecord-formatter', require: false
The current answer is to change your .rspec initializer to include the following:
--require rspec-activerecord-formatter
--require rails_helper
--format ActiveRecordDocumentationFormatter
We have to include the rails_helper so that ActiveRecord is loaded prior to trying to load the formatter. That way, we can hook into AR creations.
You can also run the formatter as a one-off option to rspec:
rspec path/to/example_spec.rb --require rspec-activerecord-formatter --require rails_helper --format ActiveRecordDocumentationFormatter
Once you set the formatter, you should now see the number of objects created and total queries for each of your tests:
You'll also get a summary at the end of your test run:
The formatter will spit out a report with more data at the end of your run:
If you want less granularity, you can also use the progress formatter:
--require rspec-activerecord-formatter
--require rails_helper
--format ActiveRecordProgressFormatter
