Test unit results display for every rake task

I have not noticed this before but its a little strage. Every time I run a rake task the results of a test suite are displayed. EG

~/Documents/City Uni Work/Final Project/code/server (master)$ rake db:drop (in /Users/stewartmatheson/Documents/City Uni Work/Final Project/code/ server) Loaded suite /Users/stewartmatheson/rails3install/bin/rake Started

Finished in 0.000193 seconds.

0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

Strange right... I decided to roll a testapp to make sure it was not something to do with my rails installation. Its not.

~/code/rails/testapp $ rake db:create (in /Users/stewartmatheson/code/rails/testapp) testapp_development already exists ~/code/rails/testapp $ rake db:migrate (in /Users/stewartmatheson/code/rails/testapp) ~/code/rails/testapp $ rake test:units (in /Users/stewartmatheson/code/rails/testapp) ~/code/rails/testapp $

Does anyone have any idea why each rake task is loading test::unit ? Not a biggie but just had me a bit puzzled.

You're loading the test environment. Somewhere you have RAILS_ENV=test or ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test" or it's been exported to your shell environment for some reason.

When you start your console does it tell you "Loading test environment"? And if so, interesting that you've been able to develop / test at all without some major issues.

As Jason mentioned it seems like ENV set. Does echo RAILS_ENV yield anything?
