RSpec unit testing

RSpec is the easiest tool to use to quickly test your Ruby code.

Output formats

RSpec supports the following outputs:

  • progress minimal output only showing a . for success and F for failure.
  • documentaion a text type output showing results as text.
  • RspecJunitFormatter a custom formatter outputting JUnit. <-- Supported by Calliope

Getting JUnit XML output

See RSpec JUnit Formatter.

Add the gem to your Gemfile, 

gem 'rspec_junit_formatter'
or install it separately. 
gem install rspec_junit_formatter

Then run your RSpec with the new formatter. 

rspec --format RspecJunitFormatter --out rspec.xml

Adding it to your CI/CD
