Integrates ruby-prof with RSpec, allowing you to easily profile your RSpec examples.

== Installation

If you need to use rspec-prof in Rails 2.x or RSpec 1.x, use version 0.0.3.

Gemfile:

group :test do gem 'rspec-prof' end

== Usage

The easiest way to use rspec-prof is to export the RSPEC_PROFILE environment variable:

$ rake spec RSPEC_PROFILE=each

This will cause every spec to be profiled individually. The output will be placed in ./profiles by default.

To execute all specs as parts of a single profile, export RSPEC_PROFILE=all instead.

== Configuration

You can set some configuration options for rspec-prof, as long as you do so before RSpec begins running specs. Thus, the best place for this configuration is in spec/support/rspec-prof.rb.

Valid configuration options and their default values are:

RSpecProf.printer_class = RubyProf::GraphHtmlPrinter # The printer to be used when writing profiles

RSpecProf::FilenameHelpers.file_extension = "html" # The file extension for profiles written to disk

RSpecProf::FilenameHelpers.output_dir = "profiles" # The destination directory into which profiles are written

== Pausing and Resuming

It is perfectly OK to do this:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "smth" do before do # let's not profile the test set-up RubyProf.pause if RubyProf.running?

  sleep 30 # doing something expensive...

  # don't forget to resume so specs can be measured!
  RubyProf.resume if RubyProf.running?
end

end
