"Run" vs "Run in terminal" time gap

[D-system]

Hello Stan Thank you for showing me your extension at RubyKaigi.

There's a significant time gap between the "Run" and "Run in terminal".

It looks like the entire app restart for each individual test. Is there a way to optimize the "Run" task?

[st0012]

Normally the 2 should use the same command to run tests, which theoretically should have similar duration. Can you provide more information? Like the actual commands being invoked?

One possibility is that the one runs in terminal utilizes spring, while the one runs in test explorer doesn’t.

It runs each tests individually. I'm on Rails 6.1.7.8, rspec-rails (6.1.2), rspec-core (3.13.0), VScode 1.90.0, MacOS 14.5 on ARM (M1)

Run in terminal:

bundle exec rspec /Users/thomas/project/spec/lib/csv_imports_lib/things_spec.rb:3

Run:

Run options: include {:locations=>{"./spec/lib/csv_imports_lib/things_spec.rb"=>[324]}}
.

I'm seeing this too.

ruby 3.3.3 (2024-06-12 revision f1c7b6f435) [x86_64-linux] Rails 7.1.3.3

Via terminal:

Fix for this would be great, makes the "Run" command pretty useless for larger spec files.

@st0012 I confirmed that this problem that occurs with latest ruby-lsp (0.20.1) and ruby-lsp-rspec (0.1.16) using Ruby 3.3.5 and Rails 7.0.8.5. How and where does the rspec is called?
