I'm just learning my way through ruby and rails to learn it. One thing I noticed is that testing 1 spec class with 1 test takes about 20 seconds. It's not even using any rails functionality at all. I am just concatenating some strings together and doing some math...
Contrast this with JUnit or ScalaTest... and I could have ran an entire suit of thousands of tests in this amount of time. One of the reasons I hated grails (I played with it about a year ago) was that tests ran rediculously slow, so the test/feedback cycle was horrendous... and I just refused to put up with that. People knock Java/Spring/Hibernate, but you can have a fully tiered, database-driven app that populates 100-150 rows of data per test that runs 1000+ tests in under 60 seconds. Given that knowledge... 20 seconds for 1 test that does nothing seems very, very wrong. Any way I can speed this up? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
