Hi,

rake test:test:rcov

This outputs to my console proper results. All test are run and coverage  
percentage differs when running functional/integration/unit tests.

But at the and I get only one folder “coverage/test” with the last  
results in HTML format.

The logs of the plugin say (3 times):  
(…)  
View the full results at \<file:///foo/coverage/test/index.html\>  
(…)  
View the full results at \<file:///foo/coverage/test/index.html\>  
(…)  
View the full results at \<file:///foo/coverage/test/index.html\>

So the plugin overwrites its output. Any idea how to make it work?

Any help appreciated.

M.

I personally type: rake test:coverage and it works fine.

I have no such task.  
You probably use  
[http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/01/05/RcovRakeTask](http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/01/05/RcovRakeTask)  
But this generates separate coverage results for each test bundle. I  
want a overall one.
