Spec::Runner::Formatter::BaseFormatter

Formatter base-class, which implements all required methods as no-ops, with the exception

Public Class Methods

new(options, output) click to toggle source

Formatters are initialized with options and output arguments. RSpec’s built-in formatters already expect this, and any custom formatters should as well.

Parameters

options

A struct containing boolean values for colour, autospec, and dry_run

output

Used by RSpec’s built-in formatters to determine where to write the output. Default is STDOUT, otherwise a filename is expected.

Example

If you invoke the spec command with:

--format progress:progress_report.txt

… the value of output will be progress_report.txt. If you don’t identify an output destination, the default is STDOUT.

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 26
def initialize(options, output)
end

Public Instance Methods

add_example_group(example_group_proxy) click to toggle source

Deprecated - use example_group_started instead

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 51
def add_example_group(example_group_proxy)
  Spec.deprecate("BaseFormatter#add_example_group", "BaseFormatter#example_group_started")
  example_group_started(example_group_proxy)
end
close() click to toggle source

This method is invoked at the very end. Allows the formatter to clean up, like closing open streams.

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 134
def close
end
dump_failure(counter, failure) click to toggle source

Dumps detailed information about an example failure. This method is invoked for each failed example after all examples have run. counter is the sequence number of the associated example. failure is a Failure object, which contains detailed information about the failure.

Parameters

counter

the sequential number of this failure

failure

instance of Spec::Runner::Reporter::Failure

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 116
def dump_failure(counter, failure)
end
dump_pending() click to toggle source

This gets invoked after the summary

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 130
def dump_pending
end
dump_summary(duration, example_count, failure_count, pending_count) click to toggle source

This method is invoked after the dumping of examples and failures.

Parameters

duration

the total time for the entire run

example_count

the number of examples run

failure_count

the number of examples that failed

pending_count

the number of examples that are pending

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 126
def dump_summary(duration, example_count, failure_count, pending_count)
end
example_failed(example_proxy, counter, failure) click to toggle source

This method is invoked when an example fails, i.e. an exception occurred inside it (such as a failed should or other exception).

Parameters

example_proxy

The same instance of Spec::Example::ExampleProxy that was passed to example_started

counter

the sequential number of this failure

failure

instance of Spec::Runner::Reporter::Failure

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 85
def example_failed(example_proxy, counter, failure)
end
example_group_started(example_group_proxy) click to toggle source

This method is invoked at the beginning of the execution of each example_group. The next method to be invoked after this is example_started

Parameters

example_group_proxy

instance of Spec::Example::ExampleGroupProxy

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 47
def example_group_started(example_group_proxy)
end
example_passed(example_proxy) click to toggle source

This method is invoked when an example passes. example_proxy is the same instance of Spec::Example::ExampleProxy that was passed to example_started

Parameters

example_proxy

instance of Spec::Example::ExampleProxy

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 71
def example_passed(example_proxy)
end
example_pending(example_proxy, message, deprecated_pending_location=nil) click to toggle source

This method is invoked when an example is not yet implemented (i.e. has not been provided a block), or when an ExamplePendingError is raised. message is the message from the ExamplePendingError, if it exists, or the default value of “Not Yet Implemented”. deprecated_pending_location is deprecated - use example_proxy.location instead

Parameters

example_proxy

instance of Spec::Example::ExampleProxy

message

the message passed to the pending message, or an internal default

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 100
def example_pending(example_proxy, message, deprecated_pending_location=nil)
end
example_started(example_proxy) click to toggle source

This method is invoked when an example starts. The next method to be invoked after this is example_passed, example_failed, or example_pending

Parameters

example_proxy

instance of Spec::Example::ExampleProxy

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 62
def example_started(example_proxy)
end
start(example_count) click to toggle source

This method is invoked before any examples are run, right after they have all been collected. This can be useful for special formatters that need to provide progress on feedback (graphical ones)

This method will only be invoked once, and the next one to be invoked is example_group_started

Parameters

example_count

the total number of examples to be run

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 38
def start(example_count)
end
start_dump() click to toggle source

This method is invoked after all of the examples have executed. The next method to be invoked after this one is dump_failure (once for each failed example)

# File lib/spec/runner/formatter/base_formatter.rb, line 105
def start_dump
end
