Rails Source Annotations and RSpec

20 Feb 2012 | rspec

By default Rails’ source annotation rake tasks (notes and its more specific children notes:todo, notes:fixme, etc.) only search the app, config, lib, scripts and test directories of your application. I use RSpec, and on short notice, dumping this file into lib/tasks of my application was the best I could come up with to add spec to the annotation search path.

(I know some people consider littering your code with notes to your future self [or future replacement] to investigate and fix things is a smell that could indicate you’re lazy and/or bad at prioritizing. They may well be right, but until I retrain myself, this helps.)
