rspec - standalone test runner for Ruby RSpec test suites

       This man page inspired by the help message of rspec, has been written by Cédric Boutillier for the Debian
       Project, but may be used by others.

                                                   2024-02-28                                           RSPEC(1)

       The Ruby script rspec allows you to run tests written with RSpec, a testing tool for Ruby, from the
       command line. When run without arguments, rspec finds automatically all the spec files of your projects,
       and runs them. It is possible to restrict the tests to a subset by specifying the names of particular
       spec files or by using some of the filtering options.

       Various options can be passed to rspec to modify the output of the tests, or the way the tests are run.

       In addition to the following options for selecting specific files, groups, or examples, you can select  a
       single example by appending the line number to the filename:

             rspec path/to/a_spec.rb:37

       -P, --patternPATTERN
           Load files matching pattern (default: "spec/**/*_spec.rb").

       -e, --exampleSTRING
           Run examples whose full nested names include STRING.

       -l, --line_numberLINE
           Specify line number of an example or group (may be used more than once).

       -t, --tagTAG[:VALUE]
           Run examples with the specified tag, or exclude examples by adding ~ before the tag, e.g. ~slow.  TAG
           is always converted to a symbol.

       --default_pathPATH
           Set the default path where RSpec looks for examples (can be a path to a file or a directory).

-IPATH
           Specify PATH to add to $LOAD_PATH (may be used more than once).

       -r, --requirePATH
           Require a file.

       -O, --optionsPATH
           Specify the path to a custom options file.

       --orderTYPE[:SEED]
           Run  examples  by  the  specified order type. TYPE can be either default, for which files are ordered
           based on the underlying file system's order, or rand, for  which  the  order  of  files,  groups  and
           examples  is  randomized.  random  is an alias for rand. A SEED can be indicated for the random type,
           e.g. --orderrandom:123

       --seedSEED
           Equivalent of --orderrand:SEED.

       -d, --debugger
           Enable debugging.

       --fail-fast
           Abort the run on first failure.

       --failure-exit-codeCODE
           Override the exit code used when there are failing specs.

       -X, --[no-]drb
           Run examples via DRb.

       --drb-portPORT
           Port to connect to the DRb server.

       --init
           Initialize your project with RSpec.

       --configure
           Deprecated. Use --init instead.

-f, --formatFORMATTER
           Choose a formatter. The various choices are [p]rogress (default - dots), [d]ocumentation  (group  and
           example names), [h]tml, [t]extmate or a custom formatter class name.

       -o, --outFILE
           Write  output  to a file instead of STDOUT. This option applies to the previously specified --format,
           or the default format if no format is specified.

       -b, --backtrace
           Enable full backtrace.

       -c, --[no-]color, --[no-]colour
           Enable color in the output.

       -p, --profile
           Enable profiling of examples and list 10 slowest examples.
