--- ORIGINAL MESSAGE ----
I am extending another library which has it's own rakefile of tasks
and testtasks. I want hook into those TestTasks and supply some
additional options so I can verify my extended functionality doesn't
break functionality in the original library.
I know in my Rakefile I can load the other Rakefile, and access it's
Rake::Tasks, but I cannot access any TestTasks. I have done a small
hack to rake's testtask.rb file which makes use of the RUBYOPTS
variable (much like TESTOPTS). This works, however it requires that I
modify rake.
Is there an existing solution to do this, or could I ask for feature
request / submit a patch for this to get added to Rake?
The exact scenario I have is I am extending ActiveRecord. ActiveRecord
defines many of its own Rake::TestTask's for use with several database
adapter. For example to test ActiveRecord with mysql you run "rake
test_mysql". In my application I am defining a task
"test:activerecord:mysql" which tests my library against the same rake
tasks as the "rake test_mysql" ran. Since the default TestTask loader
just runs a new ruby interpretor I wanted to add that it required my '
init.rb' file before running the tests.
I ultimately am looking for behavior where running a TestTask which
would run "ruby -Ilib test_file.rb" would possibly run "ruby -r
init.rb -Ilib test_file.rb".
Thanks,
Zach Dennis
