# Zsh script to run rspec full test suite repeatedly (and in random orders).
# For overnight testing. Just 'Ctrl-C' repeatedly to terminate.
# Logs each full run to a separate log file.
# Interpolating date-time in filename avoids overwriting file with same name.
# Note: Make sure your computer will not sleep / hibernate in middle of process.

repeat 100 {
  # Sleep gives time to Ctrl-C repeatedly before new file is created. 
  sleep 1 
  date_time=$(date +%d-%m-%y_%H-%M-%S)
  # We disable colored output to avoid ANSI code characters in the log file.
  # Using tee so that terminal output also occurs, but if preferred just use
  # --out option for rspec to supress terminal output but maintain logging to file.
  docker-compose run --rm web rspec --no-color --order rand | tee specs_log_${date_time}.txt
