RSpec Buildkite

Output RSpec failure messages as Buildkite annotations as soon as they happen so you can fix them while your build finishes.

Add the gem to your Gemfile, after rspec:

gem "rspec"
gem "rspec-buildkite"

And then bundle:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rspec-buildkite

Add it to your .rspec alongside your favorite formatter:

--color
--require spec_helper
--format documentation
--format RSpec::Buildkite::AnnotationFormatter

Now run your specs on Buildkite!

If you run your RSpec builds inside Docker or Docker Compose then you'll need to make sure that buildkite-agent is available inside your container, and that some environment variables are propagated into the running containers. The buildkite-agent binary can be baked into your image, or mounted in as a volume. If you're using the docker-compose-buildkite-plugin you can pass the environment using plugin configuration. Or you can add them to the environment section in your docker-compose.yml, or supply env arguments to your docker command.

The following environment variables are required:

• BUILDKITE
• BUILDKITE_BUILD_URL
• BUILDKITE_JOB_ID
• BUILDKITE_AGENT_ACCESS_TOKEN

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
