I am trying to understand some rake stuff better …

I have a test that works fine if I do:  
“ruby test/integration/tcp\_test.rb -n test\_job\_create”

but if I try to do it in a rake file like below, it errors out. It  
seems the t.options is the problem because I can get it to work  
without that:

/usr/bin/ruby -I"lib" “/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/  
rake\_test\_loader.rb” “test/integration/tcp\_test.rb” -n test\_job\_create

# My rake task:

require ‘rake’  
require ‘rake/testtask’  
require ‘rake/rdoctask’

namespace :tcp\_test do

Rake::TestTask.new(‘job\_create’) do |t|

# t.loader = :testrb

# t.ruby\_opts = [’-n test\_job\_create’]

t.options = ‘-n test\_job\_create’  
t.verbose = true  
t.pattern = ‘test/integration/tcp\_test.rb’  
t.name = ‘job\_create’  
end

end
