Rspec support: Silnce the `puts`

std_out.rb

# Some specs causes a lot of stuff to output to the console during the spec run which interrupts the flow of lovely green dots.
# We don't want to ignore stuff that we want to see, like rspec deprecation warnings, but for an otherwise clean spec,
#   that is puts ing things, we can turn those off by tagging the spec as :noisy.
RSpec.configure do |config|
  original_stderr = $stderr
  original_stdout = $stdout
  config.before(:each, :noisy) do
    # Redirect stderr and stdout
    $stderr = File.open(File::NULL, "w") # to /dev/null, since Ruby 1.9.3
    $stdout = File.open(File::NULL, "w") # to /dev/null, since Ruby 1.9.3
  end
  config.after(:each, :noisy) do
    $stderr = original_stderr
    $stdout = original_stdout
  end
end
