Publish pretty rspec reports

This is a ruby Rspec custom formatter which generates pretty html reports showing the results of rspec tests. This gem was build to use Rspec 3.x.x If you want to use it with older versions of Rspec then you should use the rspec_reports_formatter 0.2.x (2.8.0 branch)

For Rspec 2.x.x please use rspec_reports_formatter version starting with 0.2.x
For Rspec 3.x.x please use the rspec_reports_formatter version starting with 0.3.x

Install

  gem install rspec_html_formatter -v 0.3.1

ideally just add it to your bundler Gemfile as follows:

 gem 'rspec_html_formatter','~> 0.3.1'

Use

When running your rspec tests with rspec 3.0.0 just use the custom formatter:

This should work:

 rspec -f RspecHtmlFormatter spec

If not you can explicitly add in a require as follows:

 rspec --require rspec_html_formatter.rb --format RspecHtmlFormatter spec

example overview report

example report

If you want to provide some generated documentation for the tests you can put comments in the rspec tests like this:

  #-> Given I have ordered a vegetarian pizza
  #-> When I eat the pizza
  #-> Then my tummy is full

The #-> notation is picked up and passed through a Gherkin syntax highlighter. So it was designed to use with Given,When,Then. But in theory you can put other text there too.
