Hello guys,

Recently an application started to print these nasty messaes everytime  
I try to run a rake task:

=====

Started

Finished in 0.000235 seconds.

# 0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

It’s as if something is calling the test runner, but i’m not really  
sure why or where.

I’m running rails 2.2.2 and RSpec 1.1.11.

Is there any way to discover who’s doing it? Or any way to disable it?

Well, solved it 🙂

Here’s the deal for future searches, I’ve added a require method to my  
environment.rb file (before rails boot require):

def require( file )  
if file == ‘test/unit’  
raise “do not require this shit”  
else  
super  
end  
end

And just found out where it was being required 🙂

Thanks!
