Customizing CruiseControl build for RSpec
Yesterday I posted about CruiseControl for Rails projects. It was working fine with all my rails projects using traditional test cases, But today I faced a problem with a project using RSpec. Actually, By default CruiseControl follows the following step to build:
- rake db:test:purge
- rake db:migrate
- rake test
This default was not working with my last project As I was using RSpec for my project. I found that we can overwrite default way of building by creating a rake task named cruise in our project. Means by building CruiseControl will run your custom rake task only, so you have to take care of all other things i.e. migrate etc.
Hence I created following rake task in RAILS_ROOT/lib/tasks/custom_cc.rake
and it worked for my rails project using RSpec.
Working with Vinsol has been one of the most rewarding and productive collaborations I've ever had in the technology industry. Manik is an intelligent and honest engineer with a great faculty for open and clear communication, and his team include some of the swiftest and keenest developers I've ever had the pleasure to work with. They're great value for money, excellent people who are a joy to know and interact with, and above all they really know their stuff
