Hello, I can’t make rake run the tests inside the engine directory  
instead of the app.

my Rakefile is  
require(File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘config’, ‘boot’))

require ‘rake’  
require ‘rake/testtask’  
require ‘rake/rdoctask’  
require ‘tasks/rails’  
require ‘fileutils’

desc “Default Task”  
task :default =\> [:test]

Rake::TestTask.new do |t|  
t.libs \<\< “test”  
t.test\_files =  
FileList[‘vendor/plugins/publish\_engine/test/\*\_test.rb’]  
t.verbose = true  
end

rake ignore the FileList and run the tests located inside the app/test  
directory.  
rake is executed from app root directory.

Have a good sunday
