Thanks Scott.

I don't get what happens if I add --drb
to spec/spec.opts
files.

If you add --drb to your spec.opts (or you run script/spec --drb spec/my_spec.rb) - you will run your specs through the spec server.
Without --drb, rails will load up in a fresh process.

The *whole point* of the drb server is to speed up load time when running specs.

Just to give you an idea, here's the difference for me (with spork instead of the spec server):

Can anybody explain to me, please?

What's the difference between spec:server and autospec?


I wouldn't recommend using spec server - use spork instead:

Both load the rails environment, so that each time you run your tests (with
script/spec -X or script/spec --drb) you won't have to wait for it to load
up (which can take 4-5 seconds).

autospec/autotest, on the other hand, polls the filesystem every 3 seconds
or so for changes.  When it sees one, it reruns just the test or spec file
which has changed.
