Gospec

Gospec is a concurrent test runner for RSpec built in Golang that closely
follows the interface for RSpec with additional database tools to create multiple databases in Rails Applications

to install Gospec

1. install golang if it is not already installed
   https://golang.org/doc/install

2. install Gospec and build as an executable
   go install https://github.com/leejroberts/gospec

To set up your Rails app to work with Gospec (if using Rails)

in your database.yaml file append the following to the end of the datebase name: <%= ENV["DATABASE_NUMBER"] %>

For example

test:
  database: my_cool_app_test<%= ENV["DATABASE_NUMBER"] %>
  // various other configurations

Once the above is complete and Gospec has been installed run

gospec create

this will take some time, but will create 10 test databases that are exclusively used by Gospec
for concurrent test runs

To Use Gospec

To run a file
gospec /path/to/spec/file/to/run_spec.rb
To run a directory
gospec /page/to/spec/directory/to/run
To run multiple files and directories
gospec /path/to/spec/file/to/run_spec.rb /page/to/spec/directory/to/run

Notes on current limitations

The nice progress rocket from Rspec is not currently present
Pattern matching is not present at this time only file paths and directories
Fail fast is not present at this time.
Running a "blank" call to gospec does not trigger the entire spec suite to run but can easily be added As I'm the only user, and I don't desire that functionality
