Not getting full file path of spec in terminal

[patrickspencer]

For some reason when I run any of the vim-rspec commands it shows up in my terminal as something like "rspec ~/railsapp/user_spec.rb" instead of "rspec ~/railsapp/spec/models/user_spec.rb". I changed

function! s:CurrentFilePath()
  return @%
endfunction

to

function! s:CurrentFilePath()
  return expand('%:p')
endfunction

in plugin/rspec.vim and it seemed to fix it. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

It's likely you are in the directory of the file that you have open.

What is the result of running :echo @% from Vim when you have the file open? Do you have something that changes the directory when you open the file?

[patrickspencer]

Running :echo @% from Vim when I have the file open returns the current file name without the path. I don't think I have anything that changes the directory when I open the file. Perhaps this is just an issue with some dotfile I have somewhere.

What is the result of :pwd?

[patrickspencer]

:pwd always prints full path to the file but not including the file name. For example if I had the file /Users/Patrick/project/app/controllers/user.rb open, then :pwd would output /Users/Patrick/project/app/controllers. (This is on a mac)

Also here are the versions I'm using:

• Vim is 7.4 (installed by Homebrew)
• Rails 4.2
• RSpec 3.4
• iTerm 2.1.4

I'm also not sure if I'm using vim-rspec correctly. We are supposed to hit <leader>t from the controller file or from the test file? Actually, neither work for me when I use @% instead of expand('%:p'). For example if I call <leader>t from something like spec/controllers/user_controller_spec.rb or from the controller file e.g. app/controllers/user_controller.rb using @% nothing happens (a terminal window doesn't even show up) but when I use expand('%:p') then I can call the tests from both of these places.

I am also getting the same issue but I only came across this since I started using this vim distribution https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim . I'm assuming there is a configuration within spf13's vim distribution that changes the file path somehow.

I'm getting the same behavior...but only some times. I'm using FZF using Ag to build list of files (vimrc). It seems that on occasion when a file is opened with :FZF @% will only expand to the relative and not the full path. But expand('%:p') does get the fully qualified path.
