Perform tests
RubyMine provides a convenient way to run and debug tests: you can run them from a context menu of a test file or directory containing tests, execute specific tests from the editor's gutter or by using intention actions, and so on. All of these actions create test run/debug configurations. You can use run/debug configurations to run specific subsets of tests with customized parameters.
Run tests
Run tests from the Project view
To run a test or multiple tests from the Project view Alt+1, follow the steps below:
Right-click a specific test file or a directory containing the required tests, for example, test, spec, or features.
From the context menu, select or depending on the used testing framework.
Run tests from the editor
To run tests from the editor, perform the following steps:
In the test file, do one of the following:
Click the Run button on the gutter next to the required test or test class.
Place the caret at the required test or test class name and press Alt+Enter.
Select and press Enter.
RubyMine will run and display test results in the Run tool window. If some tests are failed, you can rerun them. Learn how to explore test results from View and explore test results.
After you've run tests, RubyMine automatically creates a special profile - a temporary run/debug configuration. You can customize settings of this configuration, for example, you can pass task arguments, specify environment variables, and so on. Then, you can save the customized configuration to quickly run this configuration in the future.
Run tests using Rake tasks
