Rake test executes the test suite three times if the environment variable TEST is set

Reported by calavera | December 14th, 2009 @ 07:58 PM

To check this behavior just run this under a rails project directory:

rake test TEST=your_favourite_test_here.rb

That file will be ran three times.

I include a patch that solves the problem.

    I personally invoke ruby to run a single test, but this patch seems good to go for me. The proposed behavior is consistent with rake's test, and eliminates the weird repetitions.

    • State changed from “new” to “open”
    • Importance changed from “” to “Low”

    This is still an issue on Rails 3.

    Although it's documented in RUNNING_UNIT_TESTS that single tests are to be run using ruby —

    == Running by hand

If you only want to run a single test suite, or don't want to bother with Rake,
you can do so with something like:

   ruby -Itest test/controller/base_tests.rb

    I think this should work with Rake as well.

    The patch doesn't apply any more, can somebody please rebase it?

    There's a typo "EVN", fixing and testing with an app.
