rspec-blame

rspec-blame provides a Blame RSpec formatter that outputs the author, date, and commit hash for the slowest examples when profiling with RSpec in a git project. It also allows a profile threshold to be set, only printing examples that exceed the threshold.

Goals

In an application that has good test coverage and is managed by multiple people, tests are constantly added and executed. Often, code that result in slow tests can make the development process slow as well. To avoid this problem, this gem attempts to facilitate good practices through accomplishing the following goals:

  • Output the commit information of the slow tests, allowing the developer who last touched it and who also has the most recent context to go back and optimize the code.
  • Provide the ability to set a threshold of what are considered slow tests, reducing the noise when profiling.

Happy testing!

Usage

gem "rspec-blame"

After including the above line in your Gemfile and running bundle install, you may set a profile threshold by adding the following to spec/spec_helper.rb:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.profile_threshold = 1
end

and adding the following to your .rspec file:

--require "spec_helper"

There are several ways to use the formatter:

Command Line With Specific Spec Files

rspec -p -f Blame file_spec.rb

or

rspec --profile --format Blame file_spec.rb

Rake Task

require "rspec/core/rake_task"

RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec) { |t| t.rspec_opts = "-p -f Blame" }

Any Usage of RSpec

Add the following to your .rspec file:

--profile
--format Blame

With Spec Helper

Add require "spec_helper" to any spec files and add the following to your spec_helper.rb:

Rspec.configure do |config|
  config.profile_examples = true
  config.formatter = Blame
end
