From: Michael Barton Date: 2008-02-15T02:36:38+09:00 Subject: Newbie Problem : Including gems in Rake::TestTask I'd like to include spec behaviour testing behaviour in the Rake::TestTask, however I am unable to do this. At the moment, my code looks like this. require 'rake' require 'rake/testtask' require '3rd_party/bacon/lib/bacon.rb' desc('Runs all tests in the subdirectories of lib') task :test do Rake::TestTask.new do |t| t.pattern = 'lib/**/test/test_*.rb' end end However the line " require '3rd_party/bacon/lib/bacon.rb' " has no effect and instead I have to include it in all my testing files - which is not very DRY. I'm not using ruby_gems because I'd like to distribute my code, and I don't want other people to have to install dependencies to run it. I've tried different variations of using t.libs TestTask block however this hasn't solved the problem either. Any help would be appreciated. Mike -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
