rspec: How to capture exit from a new thread?












1















So, I am able to capture exit in rspec this way:



expect { exit }.to raise_error(SystemExit)



But, if the exit was called inside a new thread, the whole rspec run exits:



expect { Thread.new { exit } }.to raise_error(SystemExit)



Is there a way to capture exit from a new thread gracefully?

          I don't know if this is exactly what you want, but you can call join on that newly created thread. That seems to work for me.



          expect { Thread.new { exit }.join }.to raise_error(SystemExit)
