I work on a very large rails project, and rake test has become unruly mostly due to the size of our codebase. Anyway, I wrote this task to run only the tests in the products/namespace I work on.
rake test:products PRODUCTS=product1,product2
Runs all unit tests in test/**/product1/*test*.rb, test/**/product2/*test*.rb
The task:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
namespace :test do task :products do raise "Usage: rake test:products PRODUCTS=product1,product2" if ENV['PRODUCTS'].blank? products = ENV['PRODUCTS'].split(/,/) files = [] products.each do |product| dir = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/test/**/#{product}" files += FileList["#{dir}/*test*.rb"] end test_task = Rake::TestTask.new("test_products") do |t| t.libs << "test" t.test_files = files t.verbose = true end task("test_products").execute end end |
There is probably an easier way, but this works for me. Also I wouldn’t mind someone patching rake to accept opts style arguments, like –opt=blah, or -o blah. The ENV stuff seems really not so friendly.
