run all when everything filtered

Use the run_all_when_everything_filtered configuration option to do just
that. This works well when paired with an inclusion filter like ":focus =>
true", as it will run all the examples when none match the inclusion filter.

Background

Given

a file named "spec/spec_helper.rb" with:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.filter_run :focus => true
  c.run_all_when_everything_filtered = true
end

Scenarios

no examples match filter (runs all examples)

Given

a file named "spec/sample_spec.rb" with:

require "spec_helper"

describe "group 1" do
  it "group 1 example 1" do
  end

  it "group 1 example 2" do
  end
end

describe "group 2" do
  it "group 2 example 1" do
  end
end

When

I run rspec spec/sample_spec.rb --format doc

Then

the output should contain "All examples were filtered out; ignoring {:focus=>true}"

And

the examples should all pass

And

the output should contain:

group 1
  group 1 example 1
  group 1 example 2

group 2
  group 2 example 1
