Can it run the tests automatically?

Yes, after writing a spec, the skill executes the test using 'bundle exec rspec' with a fail-fast flag to immediately identify and fix any issues.

Does this skill use FactoryBot or fixtures?

This skill is optimized for a fixture-first approach, utilizing standard Rails fixtures to manage test data efficiently and ensure consistency across the suite.

Does it support older RSpec syntax?

No, it strictly enforces modern RSpec syntax using the 'expect().to' pattern to ensure your tests are up to date with current industry standards.

Which Rails spec types are supported?

It supports a comprehensive range of specs including Model, Request, System, Job, Mailer, Channel, and Storage specs.

How does it handle external service dependencies?

The skill follows isolation patterns, using VCR for recording HTTP interactions and verifying doubles (mocks/stubs) to prevent external API calls during testing.
