Forum: RSpec Is there a way to terminate a long running spec job...

and still get the output of accumulated errors?

My environment is awful, slow, and not modifiable. (Just don't go
there! At least I get to program in Ruby, which makes up for
everything else.) So when I see some errors in a 300 example test
file, it takes a long time (many minutes) for the file to finish out
and give me some meaningful output to start debugging. Is there a way
to send a signal to the rspec process and have it terminate and
printout the accumulated errors up to that point?

TIA,

Why don't you fiddle with the formatters to output the failures into
another file, and then just tail that file for your meaningful output?

This sounds relatively straightforward - I didn't know it was a
possibility to dump the errors out as things were running. Anyone have
sample code?
