Fuubar

Fuubar is an instafailing RSpec formatter that uses a progress bar instead of a string of letters and dots as feedback. Here's a video of Fuubar in action.

Supported Rubies

Installation

First:

gem install ruby-progressbar

or in your Gemfile

gem 'ruby-progressbar'

Then, when running rspec:

rspec --format Fuubar --color spec

Or, if you want to use Fuubar as your default formatter, simply put the options in your .rspec file:

--format Fuubar
--color

Advanced Usage

Customizing the Bar

Fuubar exposes an RSpec configuration variable called fuubar_progress_bar_options which, when set will be passed directly to ruby-progressbar which does all the heavy lifting. Take a look at the documentation for details on all of the options you can pass in.

Let's say for example that you would like to change the format of the bar. You would do that like so:

# spec_helper.rb

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.fuubar_progress_bar_options = { :format => 'My Fuubar! <%B> %p%% %a' }
end

would make it so that, when Fuubar is output, it would look something like:

My Fuubar! <================================                  > 53.44% 00:12:31
