Rails-talks gem — now your rails repo and applications can talk

This gem using base gem talks. You can use it if you want to hear when your rails repo and applications tasks start and when they end.

Sponsored by Evil Martians.

This idea appears on reddotrubyconf just as is :) I just thought about slow specs in rails and decided that I want to hear when they end.

This gem using gem talks and overwrites some of rails methods when you call rails-talks instead of rake from your command line.

Now only rails-talks test function available. It runs bundle exec rake test with before and after talks hooks.

$ gem install rails-talks
$ rails-talks test # instead of just `bundle exec rake test`

You can work with rails-talks test just the same as with original bundle exec rake test - with some options and customizations:

You are in .../rails/activesupport folder

$ TEST_DIR=core_ext RUBYOPT=-W0 rails-talks test
# instead of
$ TEST_DIR=core_ext RUBYOPT=-W0 bundle exec rake test

How to customize voices for talks you can find in talks repo.

More info later

I did it by myself
