Feature: exit status The rspec command exits with an exit status of 0 if all examples pass, and 1 if any examples fail. The failure exit code can be overridden using the --failure-exit-code option. Scenario: exit with 0 when all examples pass Given a file named "ok_spec.rb" with: """ describe "ok" do it "passes" do end end """ When I run `rspec ok_spec.rb` Then the exit status should be 0 And the examples should all pass Scenario: exit with 1 when one example fails Given a file named "ko_spec.rb" with: """ describe "KO" do it "fails" do raise "KO" end end """ When I run `rspec ko_spec.rb` Then the exit status should be 1 And the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure" Scenario: exit with 1 when a nested examples fails Given a file named "nested_ko_spec.rb" with: """ describe "KO" do describe "nested" do it "fails" do raise "KO" end end end """ When I run `rspec nested_ko_spec.rb` Then the exit status should be 1 And the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure" Scenario: exit with 0 when no examples are run Given a file named "a_no_examples_spec.rb" with: """ """ When I run `rspec a_no_examples_spec.rb` Then the exit status should be 0 And the output should contain "0 examples" Scenario: exit with 2 when one example fails and --failure-exit-code is 2 Given a file named "ko_spec.rb" with: """ describe "KO" do it "fails" do raise "KO" end end """ When I run `rspec --failure-exit-code 2 ko_spec.rb` Then the exit status should be 2 And the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure" @wip Scenario: exit with rspec's exit code when an at_exit hook is added upstream Given a file named "exit_at_spec.rb" with: """ require 'rspec/autorun' describe "exit 0 at_exit" do it "does not interfere with rspec's exit code" do at_exit { exit 0 } fail end end """ When I run `rspec exit_at_spec.rb` Then the exit status should be 1 And the output should contain "1 example, 1 failure"
