What are valid values for rspec :type?

In an rspec test, it is possible to specify the type of the test e.g.

it 'should behave', type: :system do
   ...
end

What are the valid values of :type, if so, where is it documented.

Solution

  • From the RSpec documentation

    - Model specs: type: `:model`
- Controller specs: type: `:controller`
- Request specs: type: `:request`
- Feature specs: type: `:feature`
- View specs: type: `:view`
- Helper specs: type: `:helper`
- Mailer specs: type: `:mailer`
- Routing specs: type: `:routing`
- Job specs: type: `:job`
- System specs: type: `:system`

    Also, as commented by arieljuod, you can have custom spec types
