I'm writing a very simple spec dispatcher, but I want to do it on the level of examples. I'd like to be able to send individual examples to my clients, have it run and receive the result back. Currently I can send a file name and have the entire file run (thus distributing the rspec tasks at the file-level), but I'm trying to distribute each individual example out.

Thus if I can get a list of examples from a file along with their line number, I can put them in a queue and have clients pull them out one by one.

I'm trying to write a simple spec dispatcher, the client-side of which
essentially does the following:

options = Spec::Runner::OptionParser.parse( "#{file}", $stderr, std_out )
options.line_number = line
Spec::Runner::CommandLine.run(options)

Given a spec file and a line number, it'll run the spec. Simple enough.

My problem is on the server side trying to pull out individual specs to be
run out of a file/series of files. The above code works well if I
pre-populate and array as follows:

queue = [["spec/one_spec.rb", 9],
       ["spec/one_spec.rb", 28],
       ["spec/one_spec.rb", 35]]

But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to pull out a list of examples given a spec filename. Is this parsed at some point before running, and can
I get to that list easily enough?


I'm not clear on what your goal is here. Can you give a little more context?
Why do you need a list of examples from a filename?



Thanks for all the help!
