Hello,  
I am using the login\_engine and user\_engine in my application.  
For testing my application if I run  
‘rake test’  
it falis because the rake test task doesn’t runs the rake bootstrap and  
rake  
sync\_permissions (or their equivalent) task on the test\_db.

How can I make the different `rake test’ tasks run the engines rake  
tasks (or  
their code equivalent) before starting the actual testing.

Thanks for our help.
