how to use if statement to do a conditional check inside specs?

Question

I have this config/initializer.rb which lets me load a yaml /config/application.yaml and do something like APP_CONFIG["myvar"] how could I enable this for my SPECS also?

My goal is to do something like:

require "spec_helper"

describe BetaController do
  describe "routing" do

    if APP_CONFIG["viral"] and APP_CONFIG["beta"]

      it "routes to #index do" do
        get("/").should route_to("home#index")
      end

    end

  end
end

Is this a gem you're using, or something you wrote yourself? — Farley Knight, Sep 30 '13 at 21:25
@farleyknight something like this :http://fredwu.me/post/632640092/rails-use-app-config-for-your-application-specific — Rubytastic, Sep 30 '13 at 21:26
That blog post is from 2010, and the project it links to is no longer maintained. I'd look for a way to migrate to the new project that is linked to on the github page. — Farley Knight, Sep 30 '13 at 21:28
From the [Github page](https://github.com/cjbottaro/app_config): This project is no longer supported or maintained. It has been superceded by ConfigSpartan: github.com/cjbottaro/config_spartan — Farley Knight, Sep 30 '13 at 21:29
@farleyknight just google for app_config ruby on rails and pick a more recent blog post its documented several times good luck — Rubytastic, Sep 30 '13 at 21:49

I would suggest using this gem:

https://github.com/oshuma/app_config

Given this YAML file:

---
admin_email: 'admin@example.com'
api_name:    'Supr Webz 2.0'
api_key:     'SUPERAWESOMESERVICE'
Use it like so:

AppConfig.setup!(yaml: '/path/to/app_config.yml')

# Later on...
AppConfig.admin_email  # => 'admin@example.com'
AppConfig.api_name     # => 'Supr Webz 2.0'
AppConfig.api_key      # => 'SUPERAWESOMESERVICE'

This could easily be added to your spec_helper
