Rspec doesn't explain failure tests anymore

Question

I'm using Rspec with guard and spork for a while, and yesterday I noticed that I didn't had explanations anymore. Now when I type rspec (in order to run every tests), I can only see something like .....................................FDone. but I don't have the human translation that used to follow. Worse, Rspec doesn't run all the tests since, not even half...

Do you have any idea what could cause such a annoying behavior ?

Answer 1

Try setting the --format option

rspec example_spec.rb --format documentation

The output should look something like

something
  does something that passes
  does something that fails (FAILED - 1)
  does something that is pending (PENDING: Not Yet Implemented)
