Hi you all, I execute "rake TEST= test/unit/whatever_test.rb, and it is executed 3 times. That it, the output is something like:

c:/ruby .................. "test/unit/whatever_test.rb" Loaded suite ..... Started F Finished in 0.8 ... 1 tests, 1 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors

c:/ruby .................. "test/unit/whatever_test.rb" Loaded suite ..... Started F Finished in 0.8 ... 1 tests, 1 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors

c:/ruby .................. "test/unit/whatever_test.rb" Loaded suite ..... Started F Finished in 0.8 ... 1 tests, 1 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors

And at the end: Errors running test:units, test:functionals and test:integration!

Is this a normal behaviour? The test is the default one when you create a model and I'm using Ruby 1.8.6. and Rails 2.1.2. rake version is 0.8.6

Hi you all,

If you want to run just one test I'd do ruby -Itest test/unit/ foo_test.rb

I think the issue is that the default task in a rails project runs 3 sub tasks: test:units, test:functionals and test:integration. Each of these tasks then pickup the TEST environment variable you've set

Or you could try

rake test:units TEST=test/unit/whatever_test.rb

if it is a unit test for example

Ok, thanks, that works.
