Finding those irritating puts

Recently a couple of bits of debug have cropped up in the tests on my project and it’s been irritating me a little more each time I run my tests. Today it became too much and it was time to track them down. I knew they were is a spec somewhere, so in the spec_helper I added the following to print out the description of the test instead of the actual debug.

def new_puts(test)
  $stdout.puts(self.description)
end

alias :p :new_puts
alias :puts :new_puts

Debug free test output. Conditions are perfect.

    With Test::Unit you can do “rake TESTOPTS=’-v’ rake” [1] so that each test name is written to stdout as it is executed. I expect there is a RSpec equivalent.
