RubyMine 5.4.0 Web Help

Testing support in RubyMine provides the possibility to navigate between a test and test subject. When navigating from a test subject to the associated tests in a Rails application, RubyMine looks for candidates among all similar elements. For example, if you try to navigate from a controller action to its test, RubyMine will show tests for the controller, helper, and view:

In the other contexts, RubyMine looks for candidates across the whole project, among all files whose names match one of the following patterns:

RubyMine starts searching for candidates in the immediate vicinity of the source file, and then on the similar relative paths. For example, if a class and its test reside in the same directory, the navigation will be performed between them; however, if a class and its tests are located in different places, RubyMine will look for similar relative paths:

To jump from a test to its test subject
  1. Open the desired test class in the editor.
  2. On the main menu or on the context menu of the editor, choose Navigate | Test Subject. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+TCtrl+Shift+T. The test subject for the current test class opens in the dedicated tab of the editor and gets the focus.

    If more than one test is associated with the test subject, select the desired one from the pop-up list:

Tip

To jump between a test subject and a test, you can also use Navigate | Related File or Ctrl+Alt+HomeCtrl+Alt+Home:
