On my current rails project we're using both rspec and cucumber. We've been diligent about keeping our specs as true unit tests, using nulldb and mocking/stubbing to disconnect the specs from the database and keep each spec focused on the class/method under test. Our cucumber features are integration tests and use the database (as they should). This separation has worked well for us up to now. Our specs have remained fairly fast, even as our spec suite has grown (around 1200 specs, currently).
I've started working on building an REST-inspired HTTP API for the app. Initially, I've continued to use cucumber to integration test the API. However, I'm now convinced that as great as cucumber is for integration testing the user-facing parts of our application, it's not the right tool for integration testing the API. I'd like to write my API integration tests using just rspec and rack-test. But I really like the fact that "rake spec" runs only the unit tests, and is much faster than running all of the tests. I don't want to give that up. Is there an easy way to setup multiple spec suites within a single rails app? I'd like to run the integration test specs separately from the unit test specs.
