rspec: Run a specific directory of tests.
$ rspec ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "rspec ${path-to-directory}" is used to run RSpec tests for a specific directory.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "rspec" is the command to run the RSpec testing framework. RSpec is a popular testing tool for the Ruby programming language.
  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory containing the RSpec test files. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path, without the brackets. The path can be relative (e.g., "./spec") or absolute (e.g., "/home/user/project/spec"). This specifies the directory where RSpec will look for the test files.

When you run this command, RSpec will scan the specified directory for files following the naming convention of RSpec tests (typically with filenames ending in "_spec.rb"). It will then execute the tests and provide the test results and any failures or errors in the tests.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
