I'm using factory_girl_rails
as a replacement for fixtures in my Rails project. I'm also using guard-rspec
to automatically run my specs. Guard is not picking up the changes I make to my factory files (e.g. spec/factories/users.rb
)—I have to stop guard, then reinitialize it for it to pick up those changes.
What are some options for avoiding this manual process?
To add to your own answer:
I limit what it runs, so it doesn't run too much:
watch(%r{^spec/factories/(.+)\.rb$}) { "spec/models" }
or including the relevant controller:
watch(%r{^spec/factories/(.+)\.rb$}) { |m|
["spec/models/", "spec/controllers/#{m[1]}_controller_spec.rb"]
}
After some searching, I stumbled upon this gist and extracted:
watch(%r{^spec/factories/(.+)\.rb$})
Which, according to the documentation, tells the current guard to watch for changes in *.rb files in spec/factories/
Limiting even more to the specific specs related to the factory, it should be something like:
require 'active_support/inflector'
watch(%r{^spec/factories/(.+)\.rb$}) do |m|
%W{
spec/models/#{m[1].singularize}_spec.rb
spec/controllers/#{m[1]}_controller_spec.rb
}
end
I use this on my macbook, you should add this line in your Guardfile
watch(%r{^spec/factories/(.+)\.rb$}) { rspec.spec_dir }
and it will automatically run the whole specs file.
If you set the block's return value is 'spec/models', it only run the specs under spec/models dir.
I use Dir.glob
to get a list of all the file names that I want to monitor. This works for nested folder structure as well.
require 'active_support/inflector'
watch(%r{^spec/factories/(.+)\.rb$}) { |m|
[
*Dir.glob("spec/models/#{m[1].singularize}_spec.rb"),
*Dir.glob("spec/requests/**/#{m[1]}_spec.rb"),
*Dir.glob("spec/controllers/**/#{m[1]}_controller_spec.rb"),
]
}
