I’ve always been a little bit bemused by the default ruby test/unit and
rspec output. Basically, what I want is a progress bar and that any
errors and warnings be displayed immediately. I also want warnings to be
printed for slow specs. When using color, I want the entire progress bar
printed in green if everything is good, yellow if there has been a
warning, and red if there has been an error.
And then I remembered that rspec makes it super easy to write your own
custom formatter. So I did.
Pictures are worth a thousands word, can you post a screenshot on the
blog post?
So true, so true. Unfortunately, a static image doesn’t really show
off the progress bar very well. So I figured out how to make a
screencast and upload it to google video. The blog post has been
updated with both screenshot and screencast.
