Faster Rails tests

Feedback loop speed in one of the biggest contributing factors to overall development time. The faster you get results, the faster you can move on to other things. A fast enough test suite is therefore critical to teams' success, and is worth investing some time at the beginning to save in the long run.

Below is a list of techniques for speeding up a Rails test suite. It is not comprehensive, but should definitely provide some quick wins. This list of techniques assumes you're using minitest, but most everything should translate over to rspec by simply replacing test/test_helper.rb with spec/spec_helper.rb.

# frozen_string_literal: true
require 'ripper'
# A Ripper parser that will replace usage of Sorbet patterns with whitespace so
# that location information is maintained but Sorbet methods aren't called.
class Eraser < Ripper
# Represents a line in the source. If this class is being used, it means that
# every character in the string is 1 byte in length, so we can just return the
# start of the line + the index.

in [:opt_getinlinecache, *]

counts << 0
