Log Splitter for RSpec

This RSpec plugin allows you to change the logger for your library for each separate example. This gives the ability to see the log output for each specific test.

Usage

Currently you must have a class or module which responds to two methods. For example, Rails responds correctly:

• Rails.logger
• Rails.logger=

In your Gemfile:

gem "rspec-log_split"

In your spec/spec_helper.rb:

require "rspec/log_split"

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.log_split_dir    = File.expand_path("../../log/#{Time.now.iso8601}", __FILE__)
  config.log_split_module = Rails
end

You will get a log file for each example as follows:

log/2013-10-05T00:47:14+13:00/main
log/2013-10-05T00:47:14+13:00/spec/demo_spec.rb:5
log/2013-10-05T00:47:14+13:00/spec/demo_spec.rb:9
log/2013-10-05T00:47:14+13:00/spec/support/shared_examples/win.rb:2
log/2013-10-05T00:47:14+13:00/spec/support/shared_examples/win.rb:7
