Spec-talks gem — now your specs on your mac can talk with you :)

This is beta now

It was checked only on MacOS X. I don't know what present on linux or windows

This gem using base gem talks. You can use it if you want to hear when your specs (with rspec) start and when they end. Maybe I'll add here something more later :)

Why?

This idea appears on reddotrubyconf just as is :) I just thought about slow specs in rails and decided that I want to hear when they end. This gem not really for rails, for rails I will do another gem with another hacks. This gem for your reeeeeeally slow specs.

How?

This gem using gem talks and overwrites some of rspec methods when you call spec-talks instead of rspec from your command line.

Using spec-talks

$ gem install spec-talks
$ spec-talks folder_with_rspec_specs # instead of just `rspec folder_with_rspec_specs`

Of course you can use it with bundler:

Gemfile

group :test do
  gem 'rspec'
  gem 'spec-talks'
end

bash

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec spec-talks folder_with_your_specs

And of course it's not overwrites rspec methods when you use original rspec command line tool.

Who?

I did it myself
