One (or a couple) of our tests are taking forever and we'd like to optimize them.
We have say 1000 tests so it's impractical for me to go through run each file.
Is there an easy to way to find the slow ones?
This is rspec 1.3

In RSpec 2 and 3, you can use the --profile flag or add --profile to your .rspec file. This will track the top 10 slowest examples.
For RSpec 1, you can use --format o with spec command. It shows a text-based progress bar with profiling of 10 slowest examples. For more details see this.
rspec --profile -- path/to/file/spec.rb

2For me --profile option does not work with RSpec2. Any clues? – Yura Omelchuk Dec 06 '11 at 23:19

12@YuriOmelchuk --profile may have been depricated. Use -p as instead of --profile. Just run rspec spec -p to list 10 slowest examples. Hope it helps – Gagan Jun 03 '12 at 02:00

Does this exist for Cucumber as well? – bigpotato Sep 12 '13 at 19:09
