Usage: rspec [options] [files or directories] -I PATH Specify PATH to add to $LOAD_PATH (may be used more than once). -r, --require PATH Require a file. -O, --options PATH Specify the path to a custom options file. --order TYPE[:SEED] Run examples by the specified order type. [defined] examples and groups are run in the order they are defined [rand] randomize the order of groups and examples [random] alias for rand [random:SEED] e.g. --order random:123 [recently-modified] run the most recently modified files first --seed SEED Equivalent of --order rand:SEED. --bisect[=verbose] Repeatedly runs the suite in order to isolate the failures to the smallest reproducible case. --[no-]fail-fast[=COUNT] Abort the run after a certain number of failures (1 by default). --failure-exit-code CODE Override the exit code used when there are failing specs. --error-exit-code CODE Override the exit code used when there are errors loading or running specs outside of examples. -X, --[no-]drb Run examples via DRb. --drb-port PORT Port to connect to the DRb server. **** Output **** -f, --format FORMATTER Choose a formatter. [p]rogress (default - dots) [d]ocumentation (group and example names) [h]tml [j]son [f]ailures ("file:line:reason", suitable for editors integration) custom formatter class name -o, --out FILE Write output to a file instead of $stdout. This option applies to the previously specified --format, or the default format if no format is specified. --deprecation-out FILE Write deprecation warnings to a file instead of $stderr. -b, --backtrace Enable full backtrace. --force-color, --force-colour Force the output to be in color, even if the output is not a TTY --no-color, --no-colour Force the output to not be in color, even if the output is a TTY -p, --[no-]profile [COUNT] Enable profiling of examples and list the slowest examples (default: 10). --dry-run Print the formatter output of your suite without running any examples or hooks -w, --warnings Enable ruby warnings **** Filtering/tags **** In addition to the following options for selecting specific files, groups, or examples, you can select individual examples by appending the line number(s) to the filename: rspec path/to/a_spec.rb:37:87 You can also pass example ids enclosed in square brackets: rspec path/to/a_spec.rb[1:5,1:6] # run the 5th and 6th examples/groups defined in the 1st group --only-failures Filter to just the examples that failed the last time they ran. -n, --next-failure Apply `--only-failures` and abort after one failure. (Equivalent to `--only-failures --fail-fast --order defined`) -P, --pattern PATTERN Load files matching pattern (default: "spec/**/*_spec.rb"). --exclude-pattern PATTERN Load files except those matching pattern. Opposite effect of --pattern. -e, --example STRING Run examples whose full nested names include STRING (may be used more than once) -E, --example-matches REGEX Run examples whose full nested names match REGEX (may be used more than once) -t, --tag TAG[:VALUE] Run examples with the specified tag, or exclude examples by adding ~ before the tag. - e.g. ~slow - TAG is always converted to a symbol --default-path PATH Set the default path where RSpec looks for examples (can be a path to a file or a directory). **** Utility **** --init Initialize your project with RSpec. -v, --version Display the version. -h, --help You're looking at it.
