This is a custom formatter for use with RSpec 3.9 and above.
It's designed to integrate with GitHub Actions, so that failing and pending specs are annotated correctly, but it also solves an issue I had with the way that actions handles streaming to STDOUT.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'rspec-github-actions-formatter'And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install rspec-github-actions-formatter
If you're using this with Rails, you can probably just add it to
the test group in your Gemfile.
Once you've installed the gem, you'll need to tell Rspec to use it.
This can be done by adding this line to the .rspec file:
--format RspecGithubActionsFormatter
You could also require it directly when executing RSpec:
$ bundle exec rspec --format RspecGithubActionsFormatter
The annotations output won't be very useful unless you're executing your tests within GitHub Actions, but the progress display is quite useful no matter where you run your tests!
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
