[ANN] Announcing Vroom

Announcing a new plugin: VROOM, A vim plugin for running your Ruby tests

Vroom is a plugin made by Mike Skalnik inspired by Gary Bernhardt's dotfiles, surprisingly enough, I was in private discussion with Gary asking him to turn this awesome feature into a plugin to be included in Janus. Vroom is, simply put, an awesome plugin that will make your workflow much faster, you'd never have to leave Vim again for running an entire spec/test/feature file or for running the nearest spec/test/feature.

Vroom is now officially part of Janus, with color support turned on by default, if you'd like to turn off color support by default then please add the following snippet to your ~/.vimrc.after file:

if janus#is_plugin_enabled("vroom")

  let g:vroom_use_colors = 0

endif

The usage is pretty simple, let's say you are hacking on a controller and you have the specs in a horizontal, vertical or hidden buffer, and you are trying to add a new feature or fixing a bug. Like every Ruby developer, you start writing specs (I know you do, don't you? :trollface:) and once your specs are in, you run `<leader>R` from inside the single spec you wrote, or from inside the single group you modified, and after you see your specs are red, you go back to the controller and play ping-pong by hacking <=> `<leader>r` until it's green. Was that Awesome ? Of course it was!

If you have questions or comments, please ask here, if however you have issues or improvements, please ask them upstream, or include Mike in your email as AFAIK he's not subscribed to this mailing list.

Cheers,
