Hey guys,
I’d like to be able to override the default test task with something
that starts the dependencies required for testing our app. I’ve been
googling a bit and playing around with rake but I can’t get it to play
ball.
I put a file in lib/tasks/testing.rake with the following command.
Does anyone know a solution for doing something like this? I’m sure
this must be a common thing 
Thanks,
Dave
desc ‘Test all units and functionals’
task :test do
puts “Starting ferret server…”
system “RAILS_ENV=test script/ferret_start”
exceptions = [“test:units”, “test:functionals”,
“test:integration”].collect do |task|
begin
Rake::Task[task].invoke
nil
rescue => e
e
end
end.compact
exceptions.each {|e| puts e;puts e.backtrace }
raise “Test failures” unless exceptions.empty?
end
