Generating Missing Spec Files for RSpec

Question

Is there any command available for generating all missing spec files for existing models / controllers? I have a project that has several models that have been generated with out spec files.

Answer 1

In rspec-rails-2 which is intended for Rails 3 all of the rspec generators have been removed.

You can solve this problem by running the rails model generator. You can add -s to skip any existing files and --migration=false to skip creating the migration file.

Like so:

rails generate model example -s --migration=false

Answer 2

You could just run the generator and ignore the models/migrations/fixtures.

ruby script/generate rspec_model User --skip-migration --skip-fixture --skip

I've been looking into writing something to do this but there hasn't been any interest from others.

Answer 3

If the number of missing specs is rather small, you could simply run the rails generate commands for each components with missing specs.

When a conflict arises, simply opt not to overwrite the original file. The generator will ignore the existing files and generate the missing ones.
