Forum: Radiant CMS Test/unit-ing an extension

Hi,

I'm using radiant 0.8.1 and trying to write some tests for an extension 
of mine within a big project.
I'm just writing with test/unit and have some very simple stuff in 
place.

When it comes to running the tests though I can't figure out how. I've 
tried the following commands:
  rake test
  rake test:integration
  rake test:extensions EXT=nzxt

None of them work, and they all give a similar set of errors. Running 
'rake test:extensions EXT= nzxt --trace' gives the following output:

** Invoke test:extensions (first_time)
** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time)
** Invoke db:abort_if_pending_migrations (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:abort_if_pending_migrations
** Execute db:test:prepare
** Invoke db:test:load (first_time)
** Invoke db:test:purge (first_time)
** Invoke environment
** Execute db:test:purge
** Execute db:test:load
** Invoke db:schema:load (first_time)
** Invoke environment
** Execute db:schema:load
** Invoke db:schema:load
** Invoke db:test:load
** Execute test:extensions

cd -

I've tried re-freezing the radiant gem and some other things to ensure 
the install of radiant 0.8.1 is clean.
Starting with a blank 0.8.1 app, running 'rake test:integration', gives 
this output:

-I"lib:/Users/Arthur/radiant_play/vendor/radiant/test" 
"/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb"

I do seem to be able to get rspecs running. Is it possible to use 
test/unit though?

It should be possible, but I personally haven't worked with a
test/unit extension in a long time so we might be missing something.
As far as I've seen many other authors use rspec. If you can
contribute a fix for this it would be wonderful to have it.
I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you off the top of my head.
