Hello to every one, First of all, sorry if this message has already reached the list. I sent it yesterday, but since today I don't see it in the archives, I'm resending it.
I'm writing an application and using rspec to test it. I like very much it's html output, since it allows me to look at it and see how something is supposed to work. The only problem is that the list of example is quickly growing to a size that makes looking for a particular example a bit time- consuming. So I got the idea to split the output into several files. Something like: a_spec.rb -> a_results.html b_spec.rb -> b_results.html Since I put all the specs related to a class in a single spec file, this would allow me to have a clear overview of the class and to be able to locate quickly the example I'm looking for. The only problem is that, as far as I know, rspec doesn't provide similar features. So, I decided to try and write a custom rspec formatter which does what I described above. Before I start coding, however, I'd like to know the answers to some questions: 1) is there any reason my idea is not a good one? 2) has something like this already been implemented? I searched google, this mailing list and the ruby mailing list, but found nothing 3) what's the best way for a formatter to access the name of the file an example comes from? Looking at the RDoc documentation, the only way I found is to use the Spec::Example::ExampleMethods#implementation_backtrace, which contains the filename and line of the example in its first entry. Is this reliable? Is there a better way?
