Hi list,

I’m pleased to announce the first release of rubytest, which is a  
vim plugin aims to help you run ruby test (including vanilla test,  
rspec, shoulda etc.) conveniently.

[http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script\_id=2612](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2612)

## Installation

Copy all files to your ~/.vim directory.

## Usage

After installation, hit t will run the test under your cursor  
if you are editing a ruby test file.

example:

$ cd \<your rails/merb root\>  
$ vim test/unit/user\_test.rb  
(move cursor into a test case, press t)

( is mapping to '' by default in vim)

You can customize the command which will be used to run the test case by  
settting these options in your vimrc file:

let g:rubytest\_cmd\_test = “ruby %p”  
let g:rubytest\_cmd\_testcase = “ruby %p -n ‘/%c/’”  
let g:rubytest\_cmd\_spec = “spec -f specdoc %p”  
let g:rubytest\_cmd\_example = “spec -f specdoc %p -e ‘%c’”

## Default Key Bindings

t: run test case under cursor  
T: run all tests in file

I’ve only tested with tests in rails/merb project. Looking forward to  
receiving your feedback.

Thanks,  
Jan

This plugin works great for me. In the version copied into my  
plugins, I changed the individual test to \ so I could double  
tap \ to run the test under the cursor. And ] to run all  
tests since ] is next to \ on my keyboard and quicker to type than  
T

Thanks  
Mike

You can customize the key bindings in your .vimrc instead of modifying  
the plugin (if I understand correctly 🙂

map \ RubyTestRun  
map ] RubyFileRun

Cheers,
