How to stop Event Machine in setup like this?

Question

I have a Sinatra app, overall configured like described here sinatra docs .

It basically starts an event machine loop.

Now, If I want to write a RSpec test, how do I start server like this and shutdown it after?

I can do this from console by ruby server.rb , I may execute this command from spec file in test suit setup (however, I'm not sure if it is right). But then, even if I do so, how I stop it after? (and do I need or it will be stopped after test is finished?)

Answer 1

I think, in any case, you can use Rack::Test to test your Sinatra app. In order to run the specs, you don't need to run the server from the terminal.

Take a look at the documentation, you can find different examples: http://www.sinatrarb.com/testing.html
