connection rejected from solr in Rspec

Question

I use the sunspot-rails for search. These is a Rspec looks like:

describe \"GET search\" do
  before(:all) do
    system(\"rake\", \"sunspot:solr:start\")
  end
         


        

Answer 1

I got this working just by adding

`rake sunspot:solr:start RAILS_ENV=test`

to spec_helper.rb

Edit: I ended up going with https://github.com/collectiveidea/sunspot_test like Simmo mentioned. It was re-running the rake task on every test run for some reason (even though I had it in the prefork block of spork). Not sure why, but the sunspot_test gem seems like the way to go for now.
