# Async::RSpec

Provides useful `RSpec.shared_context`s for testing code that builds on top of [async](https://github.com/socketry/async).

[![Development Status](https://github.com/socketry/async-rspec/workflows/Test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/socketry/async-rspec/actions?workflow=Test)

## Installation

``` shell
$ bundle add async-rspec
```

Then add this require statement to the top of `spec/spec_helper.rb`

``` ruby
require 'async/rspec'
```

## Usage

### Async Reactor

Many specs need to run within a reactor. A shared context is provided which includes all the relevant bits, including the above leaks checks. If your spec fails to run in less than 10 seconds, an `Async::TimeoutError` raises to prevent your test suite from hanging.

``` ruby
require 'async/io'

RSpec.describe Async::IO do
include_context Async::RSpec::Reactor

let(:pipe) {IO.pipe}
let(:input) {Async::IO::Generic.new(pipe.first)}
let(:output) {Async::IO::Generic.new(pipe.last)}

it "should send and receive data within the same reactor" do
message = nil

output_task = reactor.async do
message = input.read(1024)
end

reactor.async do
output.write("Hello World")
end

output_task.wait
expect(message).to be == "Hello World"

input.close
output.close
end
end
```

### Changing Timeout

You can change the timeout by specifying it as an option:

``` ruby
RSpec.describe MySlowThing, timeout: 60 do
# ...
end
```

### File Descriptor Leaks

Leaking sockets and other kinds of IOs are a problem for long running services. `Async::RSpec::Leaks` tracks all open sockets both before and after the spec. If any are left open, a `RuntimeError` is raised and the spec fails.

``` ruby
RSpec.describe "leaky ios" do
include_context Async::RSpec::Leaks

# The following fails:
it "leaks io" do
@input, @output = IO.pipe
end
end
```

In some cases, the Ruby garbage collector will close IOs. In the above case, it's possible that just writing `IO.pipe` will not leak as Ruby will garbage collect the resulting IOs immediately. It's still incorrect to not close IOs, so don't depend on this behaviour.

### Allocations

This functionality was moved to [`rspec-memory`](https://github.com/socketry/rspec-memory).
