Rails 3.1 with Rspec, Factory Girl, Haml, Simple Form, Database Cleaner, Spork, and Guard
gem install rails
rails new my_app -T
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'haml-rails'
gem 'simple_form'
group :development do
gem 'rails3-generators' # for factory_girl_rails and simple_form
end
group :test, :development do
gem "rspec-rails"
gem 'rspec-instafail'
gem 'rb-fsevent'
gem 'growl'
gem 'pry'
gem 'factory_girl_rails'
gem 'database_cleaner'
gem "factory_girl_rails"
gem "capybara"
gem 'guard-spork'
gem "guard-bundler"
gem "guard-rspec"
gem "guard-migrate"
end
bundle install --path vendor
Use this for all subsequent ````bundle install``` commands. Why? http://ryan.mcgeary.org/2011/02/09/vendor-everything-still-applies/
# in config/application.rb
config.generators do |g|
g.test_framework :rspec, :fixture => true
g.fixture_replacement :factory_girl, :dir => 'spec/factories'
g.form_builder :simple_form
g.template_engine :haml
end
In Rails 3+, the lib directory is no longer autoloaded.
# in config/application.rb
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)
config.autoload_paths += Dir["#{config.root}/lib/**/"]
rails g rspec:install
rails g simple_form:install
spork --bootstrap
Then edit spec/spec_helper.rb
and move everything into the prefork
section.
Edit spec/spec_helper.rb
.
Put this in the prefork
section:
require 'database_cleaner'
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
Put this in the each_run
section:
DatabaseCleaner.clean
Comment out the config.fixture_path
line in spec/spec_helper.rb
...the comment above implies it shouldn't be used if we're not using ActiveRecord fixtures.
echo '--colour
--drb
--require rspec/instafail
--format RSpec::Instafail' > .rspec
The --drb
is needed for spork and --colour
is for color, because it's pretty.
In your config/environments/development.rb
, near the end before the
YourAppName::Application.configure
block, put this:
silence_warnings do
begin
require 'pry'
IRB = Pry
rescue LoadError
end
end
Now rails c
will startup using pry. You can also add bindings.pry
anyplace and your app will stop there with a pry prompt until you exit
it.

Run these commands:
guard init
guard init bundler guard init spork guard init migrate guard init rspec
You may have to monkey withy our Guardfile
some but the order should be right.
