Reducing the rake spec verbosity

Each time I run the "rake spec" in my Rails 3 / RSpec 2 project, the first thing it does is print the command "bundle exec spec ....". However, the part that I skipped is a list of all the specification files in the project, which is a large piece of text that interferes with reading the test results. How to disable this?

I do not use the rake specification, and instead I run my specifications through the rspec runner. So instead of "rake spec" I just do "rspec spec /". You can pass various parameters to this command, as described in the first answer to your question.

You can change the output of your specifications by placing flags in the spec/spec.opts in your rails application.

Example from this blog post:

 --colour --format progress --format specdoc:spec/spec_full_report.txt --format failing_examples:spec/spec_failing_examples.txt --format html:spec/spec_report.html --loadby mtime --reverse

Here you can see all the options available: https://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/blob/master/lib/spec/runner/option_parser.rb

Just add this to your rakefile

 require 'rspec/core/rake_task' task(:spec).clear RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec) do |t| t.verbose = false end
