Get details of failed tests while the suite is running and not only at the end

[Panayotis Matsinopoulos]

Hi,

While running rspec I am getting output like this:


..FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...............


and at the end, I am getting detailed list of the problems.

Question: How can I get the details of a failure before the whole suite finishes and at the failure point on each test?

I would like to see the output while running the suite as follows:

..F
<details of failure .... Test + error e.t.c.>
F
<details of failure .... Test + error e.t.c.>
......F
<details of failure .... Test + error e.t.c.>
......F
<details of failure .... Test + error e.t.c.>
.................


Is that clear?

Any help?

Hi Panayotis,

There currently isn’t a default formatter which does that. Can you explain a bit more behind the why of this type of output? For me, this type of output would be a tad jarring to see.

There is an option you can set to fail_fast so the suite stops at the first failing spec. Additionally, you can pass the flag --fail-fast flag on the command line when you run RSpec.

Cheers!

There are several 3rd party formatters that provide this:

--fail-fact works fine for me. Thanks a lot.
