RoR 2.3.11 and Rspec 1.2.9 ... adding tests to existing project: tests exist however they're ignored

Question

Hey all this is where I'm at:

$ spec spec/

Finished in 0.002031 seconds

0 examples, 0 failures

HOWEVER. I've got my first few tests I've written and placed them in /spec/controllers/citations_controller_spec.rb

and added a puts in the above spec to verify that its actually being executed on the use of:

spec spec/

here are the contents of citations_controller_spec.rb ( it has existing tests ) :

require 'spec_helper'

describe CitationsController do
  describe "GET 'home'" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'home'
      response.should be_success
    end
    it "should have the right title" do
      get 'home'
      response.should have_tag("title",
                               "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App | Home")
    end
  end

  describe "GET 'contact'" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'contact'
      response.should be_success
    end
    it "should have the right title" do
      get 'contact'
      response.should have_tag("title",
                               "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App | Contact")
    end
  end

  describe "GET 'about'" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'about'
      response.should be_success
    end
    it "should have the right title" do
      get 'about'
      response.should have_tag("title",
                               "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App | About")
    end
  end
end

But as shown in the first code bit ...

0 examples, 0 failures

.. so anyone happen to know whats going on here?

Answer 1

Try

spec spec/controllers/citations_controller_spec.rb

to run one test file. Or

rake test

to run all tests. Do you see any test dots or examples now?
