Testing Rake tasks
To make testing Rake tasks a little easier, there is a helper that can be included
in lieu of the standard Spec helper. Instead of require 'spec_helper', use
require 'rake_helper'. The helper includes spec_helper for you, and configures
a few other things to make testing Rake tasks easier.
At a minimum, requiring the Rake helper includes the runtime task helpers, and
includes the RakeHelpers Spec support module.
The RakeHelpers module exposes a run_rake_task(<task>) method to make
executing tasks simple. See spec/support/helpers/rake_helpers.rb for all available
methods.
$stdout can be redirected by adding :silence_stdout.
Example:
require 'rake_helper'
describe 'gitlab:shell rake tasks', :silence_stdout do
before do
Rake.application.rake_require 'tasks/gitlab/shell'
stub_warn_user_is_not_gitlab
end
describe 'install task' do
it 'invokes create_hooks task' do
expect(Rake::Task['gitlab:shell:create_hooks']).to receive(:invoke)
run_rake_task('gitlab:shell:install')
end
end
end
