# Guard::Spork [](http://travis-ci.org/guard/guard-spork) [](https://gemnasium.com/guard/guard-spork) [](http://badge.fury.io/rb/guard-spork)
Guard::Spork allows to automatically & intelligently start/reload your RSpec/Cucumber/Test::Unit [Spork](https://github.com/sporkrb/spork) server(s).
* Compatible with Spork 0.8.4 & 0.9.0.rcX.
* Tested against Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0.0, 2.1.2, and JRuby.
## Install
Please be sure to have [Guard](https://github.com/guard/guard) installed before continuing.
Install the gem:
$ gem install guard-spork
Add it to your Gemfile (inside development group):
```ruby
group :development do
gem 'guard-spork'
end
```
Add guard definition to your Guardfile with:
$ guard init spork
## Usage
Please read the [Guard usage documentation](https://github.com/guard/guard#readme).
## Guardfile
Please read [Guard doc](https://github.com/guard/guard#readme) for more info about the Guardfile DSL.
**IMPORTANT: place Spork guard before RSpec/Cucumber/Test::Unit guards!**
### Rails app
``` ruby
guard 'spork' do
watch('config/application.rb')
watch('config/environment.rb')
watch(%r{^config/environments/.*\.rb$})
watch(%r{^config/initializers/.*\.rb$})
watch('Gemfile.lock')
watch('spec/spec_helper.rb') { :rspec }
watch('test/test_helper.rb') { :test_unit }
watch(%r{features/support/}) { :cucumber }
end
```
### Running specs over Spork
Pass the `:cmd => "rspec --drb"` option to [Guard::RSpec](https://github.com/guard/guard-rspec) and/or [Guard::Cucumber](https://github.com/guard/guard-cucumber) to run them over the Spork DRb server:
``` ruby
guard 'rspec', :cmd => "rspec --drb" do
# ...
end
guard 'cucumber', :cmd => "rspec --drb" do
# ...
end
```
For MiniTest Guard you should pass the `:drb => true` option:
``` ruby
guard 'minitest', :drb => true do
# ...
end
```
## Options
Guard::Spork automatically detect RSpec/Cucumber/Test::Unit/Bundler presence but you can disable any of them with the corresponding options:
``` ruby
guard 'spork', :rspec => false, :cucumber => false, :test_unit => false, :bundler => false do
# ...
end
```
You can provide additional environment variables for RSpec, Cucumber, and Test::Unit with the :rspec_env, :cucumber_env, and :test_unit_env options:
``` ruby
guard 'spork', :cucumber_env => { 'RAILS_ENV' => 'cucumber' }, :rspec_env => { 'RAILS_ENV' => 'test' }, :test_unit_env => { 'RAILS_ENV' => 'test' } do
# ...
end
```
If your application runs on [Heroku](http://www.heroku.com/) or otherwise uses [Foreman](https://github.com/ddollar/foreman), you can provide the `:foreman => true` option to have environment variables present in the `.env` file passed on to the Spork server.
Available options:
``` ruby
:wait => 60 # Seconds to wait for the server to start, default: 30. Setting it to nil will cause it to wait indefinitely.
:retry_delay => 60 # Seconds to wait before retrying booting the server, default: 30. Setting it to nil will cause it to wait indefinitely.
:cucumber => false
:rspec => false
:test_unit => false
:minitest => false
:bundler => false # Don't use "bundle exec"
:test_unit_port => 1233 # Default: 8988
:rspec_port => 1234 # Default: 8989
:cucumber_port => 4321 # Default: 8990
:test_unit_env => { 'RAILS_ENV' => 'baz' } # Default: nil
:rspec_env => { 'RAILS_ENV' => 'foo' } # Default: nil
:cucumber_env => { 'RAILS_ENV' => 'bar' } # Default: nil
:aggressive_kill => false # Default: true, will search Spork pids from `ps aux` and kill them all on start.
:notify_on_start => true # Default: false, will notify as soon as starting begins.
:foreman => true # Default: false, will start Spork through `foreman run` to pick up environment variables used by Foreman. Pass an env file {:env => ".env.test"}
:quiet => true # Default: false, will silence some of the debugging output which can get repetitive (only work with Spork edge at the moment).
```
## Common troubleshooting
If you can start Spork manually but get the following error message when using Guard::Spork:
Starting Spork for RSpec ERROR: Could not start Spork for RSpec/Cucumber. Make sure you can use it manually first.
Try to increase the value of the `:wait => 60` option before any further investigation.
It's possible that this error is the result of an unnecessary /test directory in the root of your application. Removing the /test directory entirely may resolve this error.
