Rakefile

require 'rspec/core/rake_task'

desc "Run all specs"
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new('spec') do |t|
  t.pattern = 'foo_spec.rb'
  t.verbose = true
end

desc "Run all specs with rcov"
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new('spec:rcov') do |t|
  t.pattern = 'foo_spec.rb'
  t.verbose = true
  t.rcov = true
end

To run this example:

• Clone it
• Run bundle update
• Run rake spec. One spec should fail.
• Run rake spec:rcov. No specs are executed, which you can tell because the spec doesn't fail.
