Overview

This class isn't loaded at runtime but serves to document all of the notifications implemented as part of the standard interface. The reporter will issue these during a normal test suite run, but a formatter will only receive those notifications it has registered itself to receive. To register a formatter call:

::RSpec::Core::Formatters.register class, :list, :of, :notifications

e.g.

::RSpec::Core::Formatters.register self, :start, :example_started

    - (void) start 


  

    
This method is invoked before any examples are run, right after
they have all been collected. This can be useful for special
formatters that need to provide progress on feedback (graphical ones).


This will only be invoked once, and the next one to be invoked
is #example_group_started.

  





  
Parameters:


    
    
  • 
        notification
        (StartNotification)

    - (void) start_dump 


  

    
This method is invoked after all of the examples have executed. The next method
to be invoked after this one is #dump_failures
(BaseTextFormatter then calls #dump_failure once for each failed example.)

  





  
Parameters:


    
    
  • 
        notification
        (NullNotification)

Invoked after all examples have executed, before dumping post-run reports.

  





  
Parameters:


    
    
  • 
        notification
