RSpec Emacs Mode

| 4 Comments

I just released a small Emacs minor mode, rspec-mode that provides some convenience functions related to dealing with RSpec.

So far this minor mode provides some enhancements to ruby-mode in the contexts of RSpec specifications. Namely, it provides the following capabilities:

  • toggle back and forth between a spec and it’s target (bound to \C-c so)

  • verify the spec file associated with the current buffer (bound to \C-c ,)

  • verify the spec defined in the current buffer if it is a spec file (bound to \C-c ,)

  • ability to disable the example at the point (bound to \C-c sd)

  • ability to reenable the disabled example at the point (bound to \C-c se)

Try it out (download and repo details are here) and let me know if you find any problems or make any improvements.

    Dude, you rock. I’ve been missing this feature from emacs for quite awhile.

    Thanks.

    Hey Peter,

    Awesome extension, using it right now! Just a thought — would it be hard to add folding for the examples? I’m so used to folding on orgmod e files that I find myself trying to fold examples all the time :)

    Of course, I could just narrow to a region, but folding seems to be a more agile and lightweight solution.

    Cheers,

    Marcelo.

    I haven’t ever looked into how folding works in Emacs. I would happily accept a patch that implements folding. It does sound like a nice feature.
