Rspec autotest setup for plugins

Rails
1

Hey,

Anyone writing specs for plugins?

I’m trying to write a spec for a plugin and can’t find the preferred
method to set up autotest.

I see the rails rspec plugin has a rake task called spec:plugins which
feels very close to the mark. I want to just test one of the plugins
rather than all of them… and use autotest.

I tried just running autotest from the plugin dir itself which works
but it avoids all the goodness of the rspec_on_rails plugin… such as
the drb server… and silencing that history repetition thing.

?
