Running RSpec files from ruby code
I am trying to run RSpec tests directly from ruby code. More specifically, I am running some mysql scripts loading the rails test environment and then I want to run my rspec tests (which I am having trouble with) ... I am trying to do it with the rake command, Here is my code:
require "spec/autorun"
require"spec"
require "spec/rake/spectask"
RAILS_ENV = 'test'
namespace :run_all_tests do
desc "Run all of your tests"
puts "Reseting test database..."
system "mysql --user=root --password=dev < C:\\Brian\\Work\\Personal\\BrianSite\\database\\BrianSite_test_CreateScript.sql"
puts "Filling database tables with test data..."
system "mysql --user=root --password=dev < C:\\Brian\\Work\\Personal\\BrianSite\\database\\Fill_Test_Tables.sql"
puts "Starting rails test environment..."
task :run => :environment do
puts "RAILS_ENV is #{RAILS_ENV}"
# Run rspec test files here...
require "spec/models/blog_spec.rb"
end
end
I thought it would require "spec / models / blog_spec.rb", but the tests fail. Does anyone know where I am going wrong?
UPDATE: I added the "spec / autorun" command at the top of the file and now I run this error when I do rake run_all_tests: run:
C: /Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/runner/options.rb: 283: in fi

autorun "from C: / Ruby / bin / rake: 19
It hits this error when it hits the require / spec / models / blog_spec.rb line. This file exists because when I try to change the require statement, I just get a file that was not found. It seems like rspec is trying to run tests but is running into problems ... any thoughts?
Thanks for any help.

Try adding require "spec/autorun
to the beginning of the file.
You don't have to do this because there are built-in Rake tasks (which includes spec/rake/spectask
) to do what you do: http://rspec.info/documentation/tools/rake.html
