Hi, I installed rake-0.7.2 as a gem, and following the suggestion of the docs tried to run the tests. It complained about rcov, so I installed that as well, then the same for flexmock, and then it ran: UNABLE TO RUN FUNCTIONAL TESTS No Session Found Loaded suite /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.2/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader Started …E…E…E… Finished in 9.683188 seconds. 1.

Command failed with status (1): [/usr/bin/ruby -w -Ilib "/usr/lib/ruby/gems…] Is there still something missing from my setup, or are these tests not quite up to date? Cheers, Han H. ---

If you don’t have the session gem (or are on Windows where the session gem won’t work), you will automatically skip the functional tests. That has nothing to do with the following errors. > Loaded suite > /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.2/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader > Started > …E…E…E… > Finished in 9.683188 seconds. It seems rake isn’t providing everything you need for the tests in the gem. I’ll look into this. Thanks for the report. – Jim W.
