Running rake silently?

Ruby
1

Hi, may be I’m a bit off topic here but… Is there a way to run rake
silently ? --silent, -s, --quiet don’t have any effect and when I use
rake for testing purpose the output is polluted with unecessary
informations.

I only need the results of the tests, and of course the file/line in
case of error or test failure

eg.

[chris@aboulafia login_engine]$ rake -s
/usr/bin/ruby -Ilib:lib
“/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb”
“test/unit/login_engine_test.rb”
– create_table(“accounts”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0590s
– create_table(“articles”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0084s
– create_table(“categories”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0133s
– create_table(“comments”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0107s
– create_table(“contacts”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0079s
– create_table(“engine_schema_info”, {:id=>false, :force=>true})
-> 0.0305s
– create_table(“images”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0091s
– initialize_schema_information()
-> 0.0020s
– columns(“schema_info”)
-> 0.0011s

Most of the output is generated by software other than rake, so is
outside the control of rake itself.

[chris@aboulafia login_engine]$ rake -s
/usr/bin/ruby -Ilib:lib
“/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb”
“test/unit/login_engine_test.rb”

The above three lines (probably only one line prior to pasting) can be
silenced by setting verbose to false in the test task. E.g.

Rake:TestTask.new(“whatever”) do |t|
t.verbose = false # ADD THIS LINE
… # whatever else you have
end

– create_table(“accounts”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0590s
– create_table(“articles”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0084s
– create_table(“categories”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0133s
– create_table(“comments”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0107s
– create_table(“contacts”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0079s
– create_table(“engine_schema_info”, {:id=>false, :force=>true})
-> 0.0305s
– create_table(“images”, {:force=>true})
-> 0.0091s
– initialize_schema_information()
-> 0.0020s
– columns(“schema_info”)
-> 0.0011s

These lines looke like they are being created by whatever it is that you
are testing. Maybe some setup code somewhere.

The above lines are generated by the test suite software itself. There
are several options in Test::Unit to control this. And you can always
write your own runner to display whatever you wish.

Hope that helped.

Check out the ‘Controlling Verbosity’ section on this page:
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Migration.html

Basically you want to set this in your environment.rb

This is output from the rake migrate task in the latest version of
Rails, just FYI.

Thanks for your answers ! rake outputs produced by rails rakefiles are
still verbose but at least I understand why :wink:
