Spec w/o db:test:prepare

Testing RSpec
1

HI All,

I would like to perform my spec runs without the db:test:prepare rake
prereq.
It would be nice if I could alter spec to prereq db:test:purge only.

Could you give me some advice/urls/pointers on how best to go about
this?

Thanks,
Peter F.

Rake::Task[:spec].clear_prerequisites
task :spec => [“db:test:purge”]

Cheers,

How 'bout for rspec2?

BTW: Where should these magic lines be placed? Inside a
./config/initializers/my_init.rb ??

Should work the same way.

In any .rake file in lib/tasks (those should get loaded after the ones
in the gems)

Also - there’s no magic about these lines. Standard Ruby/rake - no
metaprogramming, nothing mysterious. Just gotta know how Rake works.
