prevent rspec_guard_result

[brewster1134]

when running my specs, the rspec_guard_result is created. some of my specs use chdir and so the file gets created in several places. it seems to only be a summary and is not very helpful.

it seems to come from when the guard-rspec specs run... i don't know why (or when) they are even running, but is it possible to disable generating this?

It's currently used for notification and failed_mode purpose and there's no way of avoid it yet. Maybe we could use chdir as well to prevent your issue. @907th what do you think?

[907th]

@thibaudgg I think it is sufficient to use absolute path to temporary file (we're using relative one now).
@brewster1134 I fixed guard-rspec formatter to use absolute path to rspec_guard_result file in PR #248. Could you please try it?

[thibaudgg]

👍

[brewster1134]

👍 No more duplicate logs being created throughout the project.

I just noticed that the spec updates throw a warning now...

warning: already initialized constant Guard::RSpec::Formatter::TEMPORARY_FILE_PATH

[907th]

@brewster1134 It's strange, I'll check it later.

[brewster1134]

Actually looking at the output closer... its because both ver. 4.2.4 AND your branch are being loaded. I am just pointing to your branch through bundler. strange..

gem 'guard-rspec', github: '907th/guard-rspec'

.../guard-rspec-6e1852c87fb9/lib/guard/rspec/formatter.rb:7: warning: already initialized constant Guard::RSpec::Formatter::TEMPORARY_FILE_PATH
.../guard-rspec-4.2.4/lib/guard/rspec/formatter.rb:7: warning: previous definition of TEMPORARY_FILE_PATH was here

[907th]

@brewster1134 I noticed you use master branch in my repository, but you should use branch fix_247.

gem 'guard-rspec', github: '907th/guard-rspec', branch: 'fix_247'

Its hash is f8f599c2ede4b (not 6e1852c87fb9)

[907th]

@brewster1134 Also try running specs with bundler

[brewster1134]

nice catch with the branch! and running specs with bundler was it. i thought running guard through bundler was all that was needed. i look forward to that branch getting merged. thanks

[907th]

@brewster1134 @thibaudgg The fix was merged!

[thibaudgg]

Thanks, 2.4.5 released!

@907th what is your rubygems email account? So I can add you to https://rubygems.org/gems/guard-rspec :)

I saw that this is fixed via using bundler to run rspec, but what if I want to run the tests with Spring?

guard :rspec, cmd:'spring rspec' do

WIth guard-rspec-4.2.8 I am still running into this issue:

.../guard-rspec-4.2.8/lib/guard/rspec/formatter.rb:7: warning: already initialized constant Guard::RSpec::Formatter::TEMPORARY_FILE_PATH
...guard-rspec-4.2.4/lib/guard/rspec/formatter.rb:7: warning: previous definition of TEMPORARY_FILE_PATH was here

[907th]

@kurtfunai I think it was fixed by #261... But it is only in master branch of guard-rspec and was not released...

UPD: I've just released 4.2.9 with the fix for the issue. But I think you will still be seeing the warning until you delete one of 4.2.4 or 4.2.8 versions of guard-rspec... or both

[kurtfunai]

@907th thank you, and thanks again for getting back to me so quickly! 😀

[907th]

But it is very interesting question for me: Why do rspec loads different versions of guard-rspec's formatter simultaneously?
@thibaudgg Don't you know why?

[907th]

@kurtfunai I broke my head trying to reproduce the issue. Can you provide me steps with doing that?

I suppose that guard and rspec load different versions of guard-rspec. But I can't understand how this is possible.

[kurtfunai]

@907th I upgraded to 4.2.9 and it seemed to resolve the issue! I no longer get the double load error.

[thibaudgg]

@907th the double load is maybe coming from bundler?

[907th]

@thibaudgg I think the following happens:

• guard starts without bundler and loads guard-rspec 4.2.4
• guard calls rspec -r <path-to-formatter-from-guard-rspec-4.2.4>
• rspec requires formatter from guard-rspec 4.2.4
• rspec loads app configuration
• app configuration calls Bundler.require
• bundler requires guard-rspec 4.2.8
• BOOOM! Constant TEMPORARY_FILE_PATH is being redeclared

But I was not able to reproduce such behaviour :(

I assume that Gemfile contains gem 'guard-rspec', '4.2.8' but both 4.2.4 and 4.2.8 versions installed.

[thibaudgg]

@907th thanks for the steps, seems very likely.
