Method: RSpec::Core::Configuration#seed

Defined in:

lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb

#seed ⇒ void

Seed for random ordering (default: generated randomly each run).

When you run specs with --order random, RSpec generates a random seed for the randomization and prints it to the output_stream (assuming you're using RSpec's built-in formatters). If you discover an ordering dependency (i.e. examples fail intermittently depending on order), set this (on Configuration or on the command line with --seed) to run using the same seed while you debug the issue.

We recommend, actually, that you use the command line approach so you don't accidentally leave the seed encoded.
