# 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 will redirect `stdout`, include the
|
||
|
|
runtime task helpers, and include the `RakeHelpers` Spec support module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `RakeHelpers` module exposes a `run_rake_task(<task>)` method to make
|
||
|
|
executing tasks simple. See `spec/support/rake_helpers.rb` for all available
|
||
|
|
methods.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
require 'rake_helper'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
describe 'gitlab:shell rake tasks' 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
|
||
|
|
```
