Hello,
I would like to start the database server (postgres) before tests are
run
and stop it afterwards. For this, I have created a little wrapper around
rake:
$ cat run-rake
#! /bin/sh
DB=pwd/db/pgdata
init database cluster if it does not exist yet
[ -d $DB ] || initdb -D$DB
start the database server
pg_ctl -D$DB -o “-h ‘’ -k $DB” -l postgreslog start
wait for it to accept connections
sleep 1
run rake with original arguments
rake “$*”
we’re done, stop database server again
pg_ctl -D$DB -o “-h ‘’ -k $DB” -l postgreslog stop
But this doesn’t “feel” like RoR, So I’d like to integrate it into rake,
so
I can say “rake foobar” instead of “run-rake foobar”
Any hints?
