Specs in lib folder

[grosser]

Copied from email:
we are experiencing difficulties using the parallel_test gem to run specs in a lib folder

We have our specs in a file structure that looks like this:

project_root/
    spec/
        features/
        other_specs/
    lib/
        my_directory/
            spec/
                my_other_directory/
                    something_spec.rb

when we run bundle exec rake parallel:spec or bundle exec rake parallel:spec[^spec/] all the specs in the spec folder run as desired.

when we run bundle exec rake parallel:spec[^lib/my_directory/spec/my_other_directory/] no specs are run and the output is "0 processes for 0 specs, ~ 0 specs per process"

parallel_test is a lifesaver and we really need it for this project. if you could please shed some light on what might be going on or suggest what we should try next we would be very grateful.

thank you for your time.

tests are only loaded from the spec folder by default, so doing ^lib will match nothing

you should be able to do:

parallel_rspec . to make it search in all folders ... or parallel_rspec lib spec
