Setting up

bundle install

Running the test suite

The default rake task will run the full test suite and standard:

bundle exec rake

You can also run a single group of tests (unit, spec, or feature)

bundle exec rake spec:unit
bundle exec rake spec:acceptance
bundle exec rake features

To run an individual rspec test, you can provide a path and line number:

bundle exec rspec spec/path/to/spec.rb:123

You can run tests with a specific version of rails via appraisal. To run the default rake task against Rails 6, for example:

bundle exec appraisal 6.0 rake

Formatting

Use standard to automatically format your code:

bundle exec rake standard:fix
