spectator.vim

vim-rails provides :A command that alternates between code and tests. Unfortunately, it only works if the alternate file exists and this is not likely to change.

spectator.vim complements rails.vim and overrides its :A command. If the alternate file exists, the behavior is the same as with rails.vim. If the alternate file does not exist, it is created and populated with skeleton code. Let's see.

Start with a new file, say lib/search/es/mapper.rb. press :A and spectator.vim will create the corresponding spec file in spec/lib/search/es/mapper_spec.rb and populate it with

require 'search/es/mapper'

module Search::Es
  describe Mapper do
    it '' do
    end
  end
end

Notice that spectator.vim detects modules and requires the spec'd file. It is also smart enough to handle files in app. When you are in app/controllers/api/v2/fields_controller.rb and press :A, spectator.vim creates new spec in spec/controllers/api/v2/fields_controller_spec.rb and populates it with

require 'spec_helper'

module Api::V2
  describe FieldsController do
    it '' do
    end
  end
end

Limitations

• Only handles rspec
