Ruby on Rails framework has great automated testing tools for unit, integration testing and others as well. this post will not discuss these tools, you should be familiar with them already.
I’m sharing here a task to help you prepare your test environment and run Rspec task without the need to run every command to run your test
Steps
Create your task file
Navigate to your lib\tasks folder, then create a test_db_setup.rake file
Put the code
Copy and paste the below code
namespace 'app' do desc "Setup test environment database: drop, create, migrate, seed the test db and start you rspec tests" task :test_db_setup => [:environment] do Rails.env = ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'test' require 'rspec/core/rake_task' RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec) Rake::Task['db:drop'].invoke Rake::Task['db:create'].invoke Rake::Task['db:migrate'].invoke Rake::Task['db:seed'].invoke puts "Test environment is ready" puts "Automated test will start ................................" Rake::Task['spec'].invoke puts "Finished ................................" end end
Run your task
open your command line and navigate to your project source folder then run
rake app:test_db_setup
Share it with your mates 🙂
