[rspec-devel] Setting rspec up for contribution

[Antti Tarvainen]

Hello, rspec developers.


I checked out rspec trunk to look at the code and perhaps to
contribute something in the future. It took me some time to get to the
point where "rake pre_commit" works, as it wasn't entirely obvious
from the beginning. So, to benefit others, here are the necessary
steps (or at least what I did):


svn co svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk
cd trunk
rake install_dependencies
cd example_rails_app
export RSPEC_RAILS_VERSION=edge
rake rspec:generate_mysql_config
mysql -u root < db/mysql_setup.sql
cd ..
rake pre_commit


Perhaps some instructions like this should be added to trunk/README or
trunk/doc/src/contribute.page?
