Running Singles Files/Tests in Rails the Easy Way
Raw
run_single_files_or_test.md

Just one type of test

ruby test/functional/person_controller.rb

Specific test

ruby test/functional/person_controller.rb -n test_that_will_run

Use some basic regexp

ruby test/functional/person_controller.rb -n /that_one_end_point_name/

Note

Even if you dynamically generate tests, when ruby loads the test file it will be able to reference all tests. This means you can either call out any test by name or use some simple regex to run only a specific subset of tests.
