How to profile RSpec with perftools and bundler?

I need to profile the test suite that I usually run with bundle exec rspec spec/ and produce the GIF image.

What is the command to run the perftools.rb so that it works correctly with bundler?

I too had to dig around to get this. Here is what I did

  1. Put this in spec_helper.rb:

    config.before :suite do
      PerfTools::CpuProfiler.start("/tmp/rspec_profile")
    end
    
    config.after :suite do
      PerfTools::CpuProfiler.stop
    end
    
  2. Run your rspec

  3. Run pprof to get your numbers

    pprof.rb --text  /tmp/rspec_profile
