Install Rails 6

$ gem install rails -v "~> 6.0.0"
```console
$ gem install rails -v "~> 6.0.0"
```

### Generate an app

$ rails new example_app
$ cd example_app
```console
$ rails new example_app
$ cd example_app
```

### Add `rspec-rails` to the Gemfile

$ echo 'gem "rspec-rails", group: [:development, :test]' >> Gemfile
```console
$ echo 'gem "rspec-rails", group: [:development, :test]' >> Gemfile
```

### Install the bundle

$ bundle install
```console
$ bundle install
```

### Bootstrap RSpec

$ rails generate rspec:install
```console
$ rails generate rspec:install
```

### Generate a scaffold

$ rails generate scaffold Widget name:string
```console
$ rails generate scaffold Widget name:string
```

This generates files in the `app` and `spec` directories. The files in the
`app` directory are generated by Rails, and Rails delegates the generation of
the files in the `spec` directory to RSpec.

### Run migrations

$ rails db:migrate && rails db:test:prepare
```console
$ rails db:migrate && rails db:test:prepare
```

### Run RSpec

$ rake spec
```console
$ rake spec
```

or

$ rspec spec --format documentation
```console
$ rspec spec --format documentation
```

If all went well, you should see output ending with:

Add rspec-rails to the :test and :development groups in the Gemfile:

group :test, :development do
gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 6.0.0'
end
```ruby
group :test, :development do
gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 6.0.0'
end
```

It needs to be in the :development group to expose generators and rake tasks
without having to type RAILS_ENV=test.

Now you can run:

bundle exec rails generate rspec:install
```console
bundle exec rails generate rspec:install
```

This adds the spec directory and some skeleton files, including a .rspec
file.

You can also customize the default spec path with `--default-path` option:

bundle exec rails generate rspec:install --default-path behaviour
```console
bundle exec rails generate rspec:install --default-path behaviour
```
