how do i print the description of every rspec to the Rails.logger?

I want to show each example's description in the Rails log during debugging. I can't quite figure out how this is done. I've looked at using RSpec.configure doing something like this:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before(:each) do |example|
    Rails.logger.debug example.description
  end
end

but that just gives a NoMethodError as it can't find description at that point. I thought it might work like #around does, but I guess not.

You're pretty close, the following will output your test descriptions as they're run:

RSpec.configure do |config|
   config.before(:each) do
     Rails.logger.debug self.class.description         
   end
end
