How to separate Rails Rspec tests that make api calls

I am writing rspec features tests that make live api calls. I want the capacity to run all non-api tests with the simple command rspec, and then some way to call the live api tests separately. Perhaps there is a way to use ARGV or to exclude some tests from the general rspec namespace and still have full features test capabilities. Any thoughts?

You need to tag your API specs, take a look at the RSpec documentation: https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-core/v/2-4/docs/command-line/tag-option

If you want to use environment variables for filtering:

spec_helper.rb

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.filter_run_excluding api: true unless ENV['ALL']
end

With this setup rspec spec command will filter out all the specs marked as api.

If you want to run whole suite including API specs ALL=true rspec spec.
