What I do

I help you run specific Ruby tests in repositories that use Makefile-based test workflows. I recognize when a Ruby project has a Makefile with a test target that accepts a TARGET parameter.

When to use me

Use this skill when:

• You're in a Ruby repository (has Gemfile, spec/ or test/ directory)
• The repository has a Makefile with a test target
• You need to run specific tests during development
• The user asks to run tests, specs, or test files

How to run tests

Use the following command format:

make test TARGET=/path/to/spec_file.rb:<line-number>

Examples

Run a specific spec file:

make test TARGET=spec/models/user_spec.rb

Run a specific test at a line number:

make test TARGET=spec/models/user_spec.rb:42

Run multiple specs (if supported):

make test TARGET="spec/models/user_spec.rb spec/services/auth_spec.rb"

Workflow tips

1. Always verify the Makefile exists before suggesting this approach
2. Check for the test target in the Makefile to confirm it accepts TARGET
3. Provide the full path from the repository root
4. Include line numbers when the user wants to run a specific test/context
5. Suggest reading Makefile if uncertain about supported parameters

Fallback options

If the Makefile doesn't support TARGET parameter, suggest alternatives:

• bundle exec rspec <path>:<line>
• bundle exec rake test
• rake test TEST=<path>
• Check the Makefile for other test-related targets
