For RSpec 2 there’s a new gem working:

github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer/fuubar

Adds extra formatters that looks like this:

Foo::Error ......
SLOW SPEC: 10.0314  Foo should raise Bar
PENDING SPEC: Foo should get Bar
891/1808:  49% |=======================                        | ETA:  00:00:21

Or this:

46%  \   should get Bar                                          ETA:  00:00:23

No dots and Fs, just what you need to know: FAILURES, PENDINGS and SLOW ones.

gem install rspec_spinner

Require RspecSpinner on spec/spec_helper.rb:

require 'spec'
require 'rspec_spinner'
...

Add to your project /.rspec

--require rspec_spinner --format RspecSpinner::Bar

or:

--require rspec_spinner --format RspecSpinner::Spinner

Change your spec.opts –format to:

--format RspecSpinner::Bar

or:

--format RspecSpinner::Spinner

Have fun!
