New projects using Bundler, Rake and RSpec

When starting a new project, it might be a good idea to start with useful tools from the beginning.

In my experience, these are:

• Bundler
• Rake
• RSpec

To do this, you just need to:

bundle init

to create a Gemfile. In there, you’ll need to add

gem 'rake'   
gem 'rspec'

After that, a quick bundle init will get set up your dependencies, and rpsec --init will setup rspec with sane defaults.

You will also need a Rakefile. In the root of your project create it with the following contents:

require 'rspec/core/rake_task'

RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec)

task default: [:spec]
