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

Is your task adding the :enviroment to do it before? In your .rake file you should have something like this:

namespace :survey do
# ...

task :send_report => :enviroment do
# ... stuff
end

This is because you need to load the full enviroment to do that task. You can check this railcast to get more information http://railscasts.com/episodes/66-custom-rake-tasks
