Running modified specs with git
So lately have been dealing with lots of rspec files, but since the whole suit of tests would take more than an hour to run, I have to cherry pick the ones I need.
So I came up with this shortcut in bash
#!/bin/bash
bundle exec rspec $(git status | grep spec | grep "modified:" | cut -b 15-)Basically fetches the spec files that have been modified, using git status, and run them.

I think it can be nice, I'm thinking about to implement some quick tests, before running the actual full list of tests.
For me, it would be :
- If there is a spec or a feature modified, run it.
- If there is a controller modified, run the associated spec and feature.
- If there is a model modified, run the associated spec and feature.
- If there is a view modified, run the associated features.
It doesn't cover all the cases, but the basics ones.
One more thing, I think you could drastically improve performance by 1st building a list of files, and then passing it to rspec. (If you have a lot of files, you'll load rspec and rails just once.)
Thank you very much for the comment, I'll try and work out some of the updates you have mentioned :)
This is awesome! The length of the whitespace around "modified:" varies by version of git. Here's a more precise and reliable cut:
git status | grep spec | grep "modified:" | cut -d: -f2-
