# RSpec Rails
`rspec-rails` extends Rails' built-in testing framework to support rspec
examples for requests, controllers, models, views, helpers, mailers and
routing. It is a thin framework around Rails own helpers and you can
check their documentation for help as well.
## Rails
rspec-rails 7 supports Rails 7.0 to 7.2. For earlier versions of Rails, you
should use [rspec-rails-6](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/tree/5-1-maintenance)
for Rails 6.1, [rspec-rails-5](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/tree/5-1-maintenance)
for Rails 5.2 and 6.0, [rspec-rails-4](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/tree/4-1-maintenance)
for Rails 5.x, and [rspec-rails 3](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/tree/3-9-maintenance)
for even older versions.
## Install
```console
gem install rspec-rails
```
This installs the following gems:
rspec
rspec-core
rspec-expectations
rspec-mocks
rspec-rails
## Configure
Add rspec-rails to the :test and :development groups in the Gemfile:
```ruby
group :test, :development do
gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 7.0.0'
end
```
It needs to be in the :development group to expose generators and rake tasks
without having to type RAILS_ENV=test.
Now you can run:
```console
bundle exec rails generate rspec:install
```
This adds the spec directory and some skeleton files, including a .rspec
file.
You can also customize the default spec path with `--default-path` option:
```console
bundle exec rails generate rspec:install --default-path behaviour
```
## Issues
The documentation for rspec-rails is a work in progress. We'll be adding
Cucumber features over time, and clarifying existing ones. If you have
specific features you'd like to see added, find the existing documentation
incomplete or confusing, or, better yet, wish to write a missing Cucumber
feature yourself, please [submit an
issue](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues) or a [pull
request](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails).
