Rspec: requiring spec/workers

Question

I've got a bunch of Sidekiq workers in app/workers, and some matching specs in spec/workers. How can I add both to my rspec runs? As in stands none are included when I hit up rspec on the Terminal.

Answer 1

I see a few alternatives for your situation:

• Rspec loading:
  1. Make sure your test files in spec/worker follow the pattern setup for Rspec (e.g. *.rb or *_spec.rb).
  2. Require the worker files in the spec_helper.rb.
• Manual loading: Require the spec/worker and app/worker files in your spec_helper.rb with a Ruby-defined glob.
• Sidekiq helper gem: Add the rspec-sidekiq gem to your project, as explained at Sidekiq's.

To add a bulk of files to the load path, you can either:

• Add path strings to the $: global variable, early in your boot process (e.g. at the beginning of spec_helper.rb):

$:.unshift(File.expand_path('../app/workers/**/*_worker.rb', File.dirname(__FILE__))

• Use a glob to load the files without modifying the load path:

Dir[File.expand_path('../app/workers/**/*_worker.rb', File.dirname(__FILE__))].each do |file|
  require file
end
