An rspec formatter that prints each test name and result to the console on a new line - hudson likes it

progress_with_names.rb

require "rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter"

class ProgressWithNames < RSpec::Core::Formatters::BaseTextFormatter
  def example_passed(example)
    super(example)
    output.print green(". #{example.full_description}\n")
  end
  
  def example_pending(example)
    super(example)
    output.print yellow("* #{example.full_description}\n")
  end
  
  def example_failed(example)
    super(example)
    output.print red("F #{example.full_description}\n")
  end
  
  def start_dump
    super()
    output.puts
  end
end

rspec --format documentation does the trick for me today
