Thanks, Walther, on the suggestion of adding a docker container specifically dedicated to running tests. (I personally don't agree with the use of Guard, so I'd just run the shell and then enter the test commands when necessary.) Why isn't this normally done?
But exactly what is the docker-compose command for running the test suite on Octobox? Every time I've tried to run the test suite with a docker-compose command, I get stopped in my tracks by an error message telling me that simplecov isn't loading. For reasons I haven't been able to figure out, the simplecov gem doesn't get installed when I enter "bundle install" even though it's in the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock. I even tried starting a Docker container to run an sh shell, and running "bundle install" didn't install the simplecov gem.
