Make it possible to configure the rspec command used by the build system

[valo]

I am trying to use the build system on a rails 4.1 project. I am using RVM and the build system is failing with

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'rspec'
....
[path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin]
[Finished]

It will be nice to be able to override the cmd in the build system to use ./bin/rspec instead of just rspec.

Hi @valo , since the build command itself is just a configuration that is used by Sublime directly, I can't think of a way to dynamically do it.

One easy way to work around it is to copy the build file and paste it as [Sublime]/Packages/User/RSpec/RSpec.sublime-build and modify it to meet your needs.

Hope this helps!

[princemaple]

Actually an idea just came up, I will do some research and see if there's any better way to write the build functionality.

[valo]

Thanks for the suggestion @princemaple! I looked at the Sublime docs briefly yesterday with hope it will be possible to use a config variable in the build file, but I am not sure this is possible. Is this really the case? If you can reference a variable from the RSpec config in the build file it will be possible to resolve that easily.

If you can't use such a variable it will be a real pity... This will mean that the build files are pretty much carved in stone...

[princemaple]

Normally I just config the build file to a very general setting and modify it in the project setting if there's anything special in the project. I think this is how Sublime works. Anyway, I'll look into a more configurable solution :)

[princemaple]

What do you think about the variants part of https://sublime-text-unofficial-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/build_systems.html ?

[princemaple]

Also, could you provide me with the cmd that should be run when using rvm?

[valo]

I will have a look at the variants later today. The command I use is ./bin/rspec $file from the project root. This I believe is the standard way to run rspec for the latest versions in rails.

[valo]

Another very widespread way to run your specs is with bundle exec rspec $file

[princemaple]

Right. My own RSpec build in User/RSpec is actually with bundle exec. :)

[valo]

Here is an example for build variants, but it is still far from perfect. It will be great if you can have access to ENV variables like HOME and also to auto-detect the variant for the default build command. The way you can execute them at the moment is with Cmd-Ship-P "Build:"

{
  "cmd": ["./bin/rspec", "-I ${file_path}", "$file"],
  "file_regex": "# ([A-Za-z:0-9_./ ]+rb):([0-9]+)",
  "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder:${file_path}}}",
  "selector": "source.ruby.rspec",

  "windows": {
    "cmd": ["rspec.bat", "-I ${file_path}", "$file"]
  },

  "variants": [
    {
      "name": "Run with RVM",
      "cmd": ["/Users/Valentin/.rvm/bin/rvm-auto-ruby", "./bin/rspec", "-I ${file_path}", "$file"],
      "shell": true
    },
    {
      "name": "Run global",
      "cmd": ["rspec", "-I ${file_path}", "$file"],
      "shell": true
    }
  ]
}

I think there could be a utility script that detects which rspec you have and use that. Something that probes first ./bin/rspec, then bundle exec rspec and finally just rspec. And for the RVM part, if it is possible to load the bash profile and execute commands in the project folder it will be done, but I can't find a way to load the environment for these build commands.

[princemaple]

Hey @valo thanks for sharing!
I've been quite busy recently, will look into this again as soon as possible.

I'm having trouble getting this to work, too. I use chruby by @postmodern and have tried many different combinations, with no luck.

Latest try:

{
  "env": {
    "PATH": "/usr/local/opt/chruby/bin:${PATH}"
  },
  "cmd": ["chruby-exec", "ruby", "2.2.0", "--", "bundle", "exec", "rspec", "-I ${file_path}", "$file"],
  "file_regex": "# ([A-Za-z:0-9_./ ]+rb):([0-9]+)",
  "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder:${file_path}}}",
  "selector": "source.ruby.rspec"
}

Results in:

zsh:1: command not found: chruby
[Finished in 0.1s with exit code 127]
[cmd: ['chruby-exec', 'ruby', '2.2.0', '--', 'bundle', 'exec', 'rspec', '-I /Users/jh/Code/Rails/project/spec/controllers', '/Users/jh/Code/Rails/project/spec/controllers/products_controller_spec.rb']]
[dir: /Users/jh/Code/Rails/project]
[path: /usr/local/opt/chruby/bin:${PATH}]

Any ideas? Wish I could just spin up my normal shell environment easily and run bundle exec rspec <file>.

[princemaple]

Might have to go with a python command, but will lose many nice things the
build system has...

I figured out a way to do this in chruby using the RubyTest package instead.

For those of you interested:

Keyboard Shortcuts

[
  { "keys": ["alt+shift+r"], "command": "run_all_ruby_test",
      "context": [ { "key": "selector", "operator": "equal",
         "operand": "source.ruby, source.rspec, text.gherkin.feature"
                } ]
  }, // test file

  { "keys": ["super+shift+t"], "command": "reopen_last_file" }, // un-hijack this key combo
]

RubyTest.sublime-settings

{
  "run_rspec_command": "/Users/jh/rspec_env.sh bundle exec spring rspec {relative_path}",
  "run_single_rspec_command": "/Users/jh/rspec_env.sh bundle exec spring rspec {relative_path}:{line_number}",
  "save_on_run": true
}

Make sure to change the path to match your own user.

~/rspec_env.sh

This file loads the environment. I'm using zsh.

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
source ./.zshrc
$@

I could be doing this in a boneheaded way, but it's working for me, so hopefully it'll help someone else.

[princemaple]

That's basically what I meant by having to go the python command way. Might
try and make a cleaner implementation / interface.
