Always show expected and got values

[Michael Miro]

Hi guys. I was wondering if there is an option to always show expected and got values even if tests passed. Google it already and checked the docs but nada. Anybody knows if it is possible to achieve?

There isn't a way to do this currently, but you could use custom matchers what surfaced the expected / actual values in the description which would almost do this.

Can I ask why you'd want to do this?

I'm new to rspec and BDD at all so maybe I don't understand something but I would like to see not only that expected and got values match, but what are these values so I can see what my tests return. For example I was thinking that maybe my test passes but the matched got and expected values are not what I'am expecting them to be (and they are nil and nil for instance).

One for the core tenements of Test or Behaviour Driven Development, is the red green refactor cycle, if you’re worried about not having the right values for your actual values (those from the tests) then consider righting your tests to fail first, e.g. red, then making them green by changing your code only. That way you’ll see the actual values are correct before fixing the code to pass the tests.
