Integrates ruby-prof with RSpec, allowing you to easily profile your RSpec examples.

If you need to use rspec-prof in Rails 2.x or RSpec 1.x, use version ‘0.0.3`.

Gemfile:

group :test do
  gem 'rspec-prof'
end

The easiest way to use rspec-prof is to export the ‘RSPEC_PROFILE` environment variable:

$ rake spec RSPEC_PROFILE=each

This will cause every spec to be profiled individually. The output will be placed in ‘./profiles` by default.

To execute all specs as parts of a single profile, export ‘RSPEC_PROFILE=all` instead.

You can set some configuration options for ‘rspec-prof`, as long as you do so before `RSpec` begins running specs. Thus, the best place for this configuration is in `spec/support/rspec-prof.rb`.

Valid configuration options and their default values are:

RSpecProf.printer_class = RubyProf::GraphHtmlPrinter
  # The printer to be used when writing profiles

RSpecProf::FilenameHelpers.file_extension = "html"
  # The file extension for profiles written to disk

RSpecProf::FilenameHelpers.output_dir = "profiles"
  # The destination directory into which profiles are written

It is perfectly OK to do this:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "smth" do
  before do
    # let's not profile the test set-up
    RubyProf.pause if RubyProf.running?

    sleep 30 # doing something expensive...

    # don't forget to resume so specs can be measured!
    RubyProf.resume if RubyProf.running?
  end
end
