SinatraGemSpec

Example of using bundler for path management.

Bootstrap

bundle gem sinatra_gem_spec

Use bundler to make a gem scaffold

Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gemspec

group :development, :test do
  gem 'sinatra_gem_spec', :path => '.'
end

Specify the library as a gem in the current path for dev and test. When you run bundle it will recognize the gem.

config.ru

require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'sinatra_gem_spec'
run SinatraGemSpec::Server

Use bunder to load your app and then run it.

spec_helper.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'sinatra_gem_spec'
Capybara.app = SinatraGemSpec::Server

Again, use bundler to load, then give capybara the server.

sinatra_gem_spec.rb

require "sinatra_gem_spec/version"
module SinatraGemSpec
  autoload :Server, 'sinatra_gem_spec/server'
end

Server will be the sinatra app. Autoload for speed when loading environment.

sinatra_gem_spec/server.rb

require 'sinatra'
class SinatraGemSpec::Server < Sinatra::Base
  get '/' do
    'hello world'
  end
end

Basic sinatra app

spec/hello_world_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'
describe SinatraGemSpec::Server, :type => :request do
  it 'should say hello' do
    visit '/'
    page.should have_content('hello world')
  end
end

Basic request spec.

Easy!
