Support for both `bin/rspec` and `rspec` command?

[thewatts]

Currently in my Rails projects I use Spring for quick loading. Which, with the custom setting, let g:rspec_command, that makes it easy.

Ex: let g:rspec_command = '!bundle exec bin/rspec {spec}'

However, some of my projects don't use Rails or Spring, which - in that case I need to jump back into my .vimrc.

Is there a way to set things up so that I can have the best of both worlds?

You could add ./bin to your PATH. Here's how Tim Pope suggests doing it. Then for projects that have spring wrapped rspec in their bin/ directory, it will use that. Otherwise, it'll find the next available rspec in your PATH.

@gylaz --- thanks for the quick response! I'll git it a shot!

hey @gylaz, just used Tim Pope's suggestion - and pulled the code directly from #52, and while it works great in terminal, when I'm in vim and run the command - it's not picking up Spring.

My direct command in my vimrc now: let g:rspec_command = '!bundle exec rspec {spec}'

Am I missing something?

If you have rspec on your PATH as a binstub, you want just rspec and not bundle exec rspec. Using bundle exec will force it to find the binary from the rspec-core gem and not from Spring.

Going to close this. @thewatts feel free to re-open if you're still having issues.

So to be clear, the "best of both worlds" @thewatts requested can be had by let g:rspec_command = 'rspec {spec}' and adding ./bin to one's PATH - correct?

[jondkinney]

@mecampbellsoup from my testing just now, that is correct. Though I'm using RVM (I'm pretty sure @tpope is not), and I needed to do this to get my bin dir in the front of my path:

1. brew install direnv
2. Add eval $(direnv hook $0) to the end of my ~/.zshrc file

3. Create a .envrc file in the root of my project with the following content:

   PATH_add bin
