Testing Rake task with Rspec with Rails environment

Question

I\'m trying to test a rake task and it uses an active record in it.

require \'spec_helper\'
require \'rake\'

load File.join(Rails.root, \'lib\', \'tasks\', \'su         


        

Answer 1

I suspect the problem is that your survey:send_report task depends on :environment but you haven't loaded the file that defines the :environment task. That'll be in rails somewhere, and your main Rakefile loads it.

So, I think if you change

load File.join(Rails.root, 'lib', 'tasks', 'survey.rake')

to

load File.join(Rails.root, 'Rakefile')

it'll work.
