Seems not working with Rails Spring

[lazywei]

Hi,

I'm trying to use this with spring like this:

AUTODOC=1 spring rspec  --color  spec/requests/users_spec.rb

but it generates nothing.

I need to use it without spring like this

AUTODOC=1 rspec  --color  spec/requests/users_spec.rb:19

to make it generate docs.

I'm not sure if this is autodoc's or spring's issue?
Thanks

hmm, I have no idea what is going on spring because spring has a lot of issues in integrations with other libraries and I'm not using it, however,

autodoc/lib/autodoc.rb

Line 5 in 45e81d5

require "autodoc/rspec" if ENV["AUTODOC"]

or https://github.com/r7kamura/autodoc/blob/45e81d54d67b414d3fd4b1e3286bd429e5cc858b/lib/autodoc/rspec.rb might be related to this issue. Probably you may be able to work autodoc with spring by require "autodoc/rspec" in your spec_helper.rb.

Got it. I think the problem should be on spring's side.
Thanks for the information. I think I can use that workaround.

By the way, a little off-topic, do you have any other recommended rails preloader other than spring then?

Thanks.

I have tried burke/zeus, sporkrb/spork, nviennot/rspec-console, and rails/spring, but any of these were confusing in some cases. (e.g. they have poor imcompatibility with fixture replacement like thoughtbot/factory_girl and notahat/machinist). Finally I'm not using any rails preloader and keep each test fast by separating spec_helper.rb & rails_helper.rb.
