How to run rake task with parameter in rspec - ruby-on-rails-3

I want to run rake task from my rspec by passing parameter. I tried without passing parameter, it works fine. But by passing parameter it throws
`RuntimeError (Don't know how to build task 'user_details:address[2]'):
this rake command works fine in command line
rake user_details:address[2]
In my rspec
require 'rake'
Rake::Task["user_details:address[#{user_id}]"].invoke
How to run this task from rspec?

You can pass the arguments to invoke:
Rake::Task["user_details:address"].invoke(user_id)

Is it possible to run test in rails without db:create and db:migrate?

i just want to know and want to try, is it possible run rails test without db:create and db:migrate?
I'm new with ruby on rails (rails 5.2.3). i've tried and it cant run the test, i think fixture already handle the data for dummy. Or maybe i missed some steps?
You still have to create the db test before you can run any test. Try this in terminal:
RAILS_ENV=test bin/rails db:create
RAILS_ENV=test bin/rails db:migrate
then try again with your tests. Hope this helps

Invoking rake with whenever

I just started using Rails Whenever plugin. I have rake file cron. with task:
task :cron => :environment do
puts "Task invoked!"
end
And in schedule.rb I have this:
every 2.minutes do
rake "cron", enviroment => "development"
end
Once I start my app and specified interval passes, nothing happens? I am pretty new to Ruby and Rails so what am I doing wrong?
You'll need to write the schedule to your crontab. Run this command in your app:
bundle exec whenever --update-crontab myapp
When you run this command, whenever takes the Ruby syntax, translates it to cron syntax and adds it to your crontab.

Jenkins succeed when unit test fails (Rails)

I'm barely started to use Jenkins and this is the first problem I've had so far. Basically my jenkins job always succeed even when an error happened in some of the tests. This is what I'm running in the shell config:
bundle install
rake db:migrate:reset
rake test:units
rake spec:models
Thing is that Jenkins only reports a failure when the task which fails is the last one. For instance, if I put "rake test:units" the last task it will notify an error if something go wrong. Using this configuration I only get error reports for the rspec tests but not for the unit tests.
Anyone wondering why I don't only use rspec or unit test, we are currently migrating to rspec but this problem is still painful.
This is part of the log from Jenkinsm as you can see one of the unit test fails but jenkins still finish with success.
314 tests, 1781 assertions, 1 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [/var/lib/jenkins/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p1...]

Jenkins executes the commands you type into a Build Step box by writing them to a temporary file and then running the script using /bin/sh -xe.
Usually this produces the desired effect: Commands are executed in sequence (and printed) and the script aborts immediately when a command fails i.e. exits with non-zero exit code.
If this is not happening to you, the only reason can be that you have overridden this behavior. You can override it by starting the first line of your Build Step with these two characters: #!.
For example, if your Build Step looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
bundle install
rake db:migrate:reset
rake test:units
rake spec:models
Then it means Jenkins will write the script to a temporary file and it will be executed with /bin/bash. When invoked like that, bash will execute commands one-by-one and not care if they succeed. The exit code of the bash process will be the exit code of the last command in the script and that will be seen by Jenkins when the script ends.
So, take care in what you put on the first line of the Build Step. If you do not know how shell works, do not put a hash-bang at all and let Jenkins decide how the script should be run.
If you need more control over how the Build Step is executed, you should study the man page of the shell you use to find out how to make it behave the way you want. Jenkins doesn't have much of a role in here. It just executes the shell you wanted the way you wanted.
Jenkins can only see the result code of the last command run so it has no way of knowing what the result of rake test:units is.
The easiest thing is probably to have each command of those commands as a separate jenkins build step.
An alternative solution is change your first line to the following:
#!/bin/bash -e
This tells your script to fail if any of the commands in the script return an error.
See: Automatic exit from bash shell script on error

System rake test task doesn't run my tests

I'm sure I'm doing something naive or stupid, I'm just not sure what it is.
I'm writing a simple library for parsing data URIs. Being so simple, I figured I'd go ahead and just give ruby-1.9's minitest a whirl. The tests run great when I run them by hand, but when I try to run them with 'rake test', hoping to invoke the system rake test task, I get no joy. Specifically, with trace and verbose:
Donalds-Decisiv-MacBook-Pro:data_uri dball$ rake test -t -v
(in /Users/dball/src/data_uri)
** Invoke test (first_time, not_needed)
I've got tests in the test folder, they all start with test_ and end in .rb. Any ideas?
The repository of the project is http://github.com/dball/data_uri
Tests are not invoked because you didn't give rake any information about them.
Put this task in Rakefile:
require 'rake/testtask'
Rake::TestTask.new do |i|
i.test_files = FileList['test/test_*.rb']
i.verbose = true
end
Or grab a patch for your project.

Automatically run gem tasks in test environment

I have a Rails 3 gem which has some rake tasks that should only be run in the test environment. Running in other environments doesn't really make sense.
My problem is Rake loads the Rails system in order to find my tasks in my gem. So by the time it gets to my tasks Rails is already loaded in the "development" environment (or whatever environment the user specified). This means in order to run my rake tasks properly the user must do:
RAILS_ENV=test rake mytask
Since my task only make sense in the "test" environment this is annoying as I would much rather the user be able to just type:
rake mytask
This is similar to how test:units and test:functionals automatically assume the test environment and the user doesn't need to specify RAILS_ENV=test at the command line. So the question is how do I modify my test so that Rails switches to the test environment?
My current workaround is:
Rails.env = 'test'
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :test
require Rails.root.join('test/test_helper')
This seems to somewhat work but it is still logging to log/development.log and I think it is still actually running the "development" config. Anybody have any ideas? Looking at how the test tasks are defined in Rails itself doesn't reveal how to do it that I can see.

UPDATE: I've updated my code after taking inputs from Eric's implementation at https://github.com/eric1234/test_inline/commit/fe3da7efa3a2cdb7824c23cfa41697b0ceb9e8e2.
For original code see - https://stackoverflow.com/posts/4600524/revisions
desc "Do something in Test environment"
task :example => :environment do
if not Rails.env.test?
Dir.chdir(Rails.root) do
system "rake example RAILS_ENV=test"
end
else
#.... stuff ....
end
end
I didn't check for the correctness of code, but you get the idea, right?
