Gemfile

group :development, :test do
  # Spring speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background. Read more: https://github.com/rails/spring
  gem 'spring'
  gem "spring-commands-rspec"
  gem 'rspec-rails'
  gem 'database_cleaner'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails'
end

group :test do
  gem 'guard'
  gem 'guard-spring'
  gem 'shoulda-matchers', require: false
end


Then run
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec spring binstub --all

Guardfile

# A sample Guardfile
# More info at https://github.com/guard/guard#readme

guard 'spring', :rspec_cli => '--color' do
  watch(%r{^spec/.+_spec\.rb$})
  watch(%r{^spec/spec_helper\.rb$})                   { |m| 'spec' }
  watch(%r{^app/(.+)\.rb$})                           { |m| "spec/#{m[1]}_spec.rb" }
  watch(%r{^app/views/(.+)/.*\.(erb|haml|slim|jbuilder)$})     { |m| "spec/api/#{m[1]}_spec.rb" }
  watch(%r{^lib/(.+)\.rb$})                           { |m| "spec/lib/#{m[1]}_spec.rb" }
  watch(%r{^app/controllers/(.+)_(controller)\.rb$})  do |m|
    %W(spec/routing/#{m[1]}_routing_spec.rb spec/#{m[2]}s/#{m[1]}_#{m[2]}_spec.rb spec/requests/#{m[1]}_spec.rb spec/api/#{m[1]}_spec.rb)
  end
end


#Then just run
spring status
guard
#Then in another console run 'spring status' again
# One note.  The times of the test suite will go off the original time of the process.  So ignore them.
