Add a checkpoint inside an it/scenario to artificially create a passed test

readme.txt

So testing with capybara is nice, but doing it the way RSpec does it
does not really work, as these tests are slow: You can't have several
nested describe/context blocks because that would execute everything several times.
That is no problem for controllers but it sucks when the tests are (relatively) slow.

So we end up with long tests that test a bunch of things.

To make it a bit better, you can add "checkpoints". This is simply a way
to make it easy for you to know which point your test reached. 
And to see what is tested by this scenario.

Making the checkpoint be inside the scenario, or after the scenario 
would be quite difficult. The easy solution would be to use only features/describes 
instead of scenarios.

hack_rspec.rb

class RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup
  def checkpoint(title)
    title = RSpec.current_example.description + " - ✓ checkpoint: " + title
    example = RSpec::Core::Example.new(self.class, title, {}, Proc.new{ })
    example.run(self, RSpec.configuration.reporter)
  end
end

def checkpoint(title)
  checkit(title) { true }
end

RSpec.feature 'User login' do
  scenario 'with valid credentials' do |example|
    checkpoint('you can submit your password')
    expect(true).to eq 'you successfully logged in'
  end
end
