print spec file path

[Joao Miguel Ferreira]

Hello all,

Is there a way to ask rspec to print the path of the file from which tests are being run?

Thank you

Joao

Did you find an answer?

Today, while reading the 'Effective Testing with RSpec 3' book, I found
that you can access metadata in the context level:

RSpec.describe 'My Exciting Class' do
  puts metadata

  context 'when condition' do
    it 'succeeds' do
    end
  end
end

The metadata outputs a bunch of stuff, including :file_path and
:absolute_file_path

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Mohit.
