vim-spec

Spec runner for Vim. Run Rspec and Mocha tests straight from Vim.

Inspired by thoughtbot/vim-rspec and geekjuice/vim-mocha.

A hacked-up marriage between vim-rspec and vim-mocha. Determines whether to run Mocha or Rspec based on the spec's filetype. Allows for the same mapping to be used for all tests.

Example: Calling <leader>t in a Javascript file will call mocha. The same mapping can be used in a Coffeescript file and call mocha with the Coffeescript compiler. And of course, calling it from a Ruby file will invoke rspec.

Only need Mocha? Take a look at vim-mocha!

Installation

Using vundle:

Bundle 'geekjuice/vim-spec'

If using zsh on OS X it may be necessary to run move /etc/zshenv to /etc/zshrc.

Using pathogen

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/geekjuice/vim-spec.git

Example of key mappings

map <Leader>t :call RunCurrentSpecFile()<CR>
map <Leader>s :call RunNearestSpec()<CR>
map <Leader>l :call RunLastSpec()<CR>
map <Leader>a :call RunAllSpecs()<CR>

Configuration

Like thoughtbot/vim-rspec, the following variables can be overwritten for custom spec commands:

g:rspec_command
g:mocha_js_command
g:mocha_coffee_command

Examples:

let g:rspec_command = "!rspec --drb {spec}"
let g:mocha_js_command = "!mocha --recursive --no-colors {spec}"
let g:mocha_coffee_command = "!mocha -b --compilers coffee:coffee-script{spec}"

" Using test runners
let g:rspec_command = "Dispatch zeus rspec {spec}"
let g:mocha_coffee_command = "!cortado {spec}" "See geekjuice/vim-mocha

Notes/Issues

Default spec command fallbacks to the dominant spec filetype i.e. Ruby, JS, Coffee in the current directory. Future update will look for {spec|test} directories rather than search the whole parent tree
Assertions with no name i.e. no attribute for it in mocha will fail if trying to call nearest test RunNearestSpec as it depends on it having a value
