I am trying to execute rspec from ruby, and get the status or number of failures from a method or something like that. Actually I am running something like this:
system("rspec 'myfilepath'")
but I only can get the string returned by the function. Is there any way to do this directly using objects?
This one prints to console and at the same time captures the message. The formatter.stop is just a stub function, I don't know what it is for normally, I had to include it to use DocumentationFormatter. Also the formatter output contains console coloring codes.
formatter = RSpec::Core::Formatters::DocumentationFormatter.new(StringIO.new)
def formatter.stop(arg1)
end
RSpec.configuration.reporter.register_listener(formatter, :message, :dump_summary, :dump_profile, :stop, :seed, :close, :start, :example_group_started)
RSpec::Core::Runner.run(['test.rb','-fdocumentation'])
puts formatter.output.string
