excluding spec folder using rcov.opts while calculating coverage not working with rake task spec:rcov

[anagri]

When I run rcov, it also analyses the files in the spec folder for coverage which is giving me wrong coverage statistics. I have tried setting the options to exclude specific folders through rcov.opts, but it doesn't seem to work for a Rails 3 setup (RSpec 2). For my previous project on Rails 2.3.8 (RSpec 1.3) it used to work fine and the spec folders were excluded while doing coverage calculations.

With which versions of rspec and rails are you experiencing this?

RSpec 2.0.beta.22

Ah - I see - there is no rcov.opts in rspec-2 - just use rcov_opts in the rake task (http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/blob/cfa5b5707fd690f2531830a747cd9845b0aa584a/lib/rspec/core/rake_task.rb#L67)

I'll leave this open as a doc request until I've added this to the Upgrade notes.

by rcov.opts I meant a file in the spec folder which looks like this

--exclude "spec/,gems/,features/*"

--rails

[dchelimsky]

I understand. What I was saying is that this file is ignored by rspec-2, and that you should, instead, set those options directly on the rake task:

RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:rcov) do |t|
  t.rcov_opts =  %q[--exclude spec/,gems/,features/*" --rails]
end

add info about rcov options to Upgrade.markdown
