Rake spec defaults to devel env

Testing RSpec
1

I was experiencing the weirdest behavior (rake spec running fine
without a test database) the other day. Turned out that actually rake
spec was (and has been for heavens know how long for me) running in
development environment. However script/spec runs in test
environment just as I expect it to do.

Is this how it should go? Am I missing something? If there’s
something broken in my rails app where should I start debugging?

This is NOT how it should go :slight_smile:

Do you have RAILS_ROOT/lib/tasks/rspec.rake in place? If not, grab the
latest code and run ‘script/generate rspec’.

Let us know if that solves the problem.

Cheers,
David

rake spec looks at the development environment to prepare the db
schema, but still runs the specs in test

Looks like you’re right. I haven’t really had time to test this
though. I’ll tell when I really know whats going on inside our app.
