vim-testrunner

This is a lightweight RSpec runner for Vim and MacVim.

Installation

Recommended installation with vundle:

Bundle 'jvanbaarsen/vim-testrunner'

If using zsh on OS X it may be necessary to move /etc/zshenv to /etc/zshrc.

Configuration

Key mappings

Add your preferred key mappings to your .vimrc file.

" RSpec.vim mappings
map <Leader>t :call RunCurrentSpecFile()<CR>
map <Leader>s :call RunNearestSpec()<CR>
map <Leader>l :call RunLastSpec()<CR>

Custom command

Overwrite the g:test_command variable to execute a custom command.

Example:

let g:test_command = "!rspec --drb {test}"

This g:test_command variable can be used to support any number of test runners or pre-loaders. For example, to use Dispatch:

let g:test_command = "Dispatch rspec {test}"

Or, Dispatch and Zeus together:

let g:test_command = "compiler rspec | set makeprg=zeus | Make rspec {test}"

Custom runners

Overwrite the g:test_runner variable to set a custom launch script. At the moment there are two MacVim-specific runners, i.e. os_x_terminal and os_x_iterm. The default is os_x_terminal, but you can set this to anything you want, provided you include the appropriate script inside the plugin's bin/ directory.

iTerm instead of Terminal

If you use iTerm, you can set g:test_runner to use the included iterm launching script. This will run the specs in the last session of the current terminal.

let g:test_runner = "os_x_iterm"

Credits

A super big thank you goes out to Thoughbot for creating the rspec.vim plugin, which i used as the base for this plugin.
