Setting up teamcity to run rails specs

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up teamcity 5.0.2 to run my rails projects specs (just rake spec)

My setup is:

• local git repo
• rails app root in side it (git_root/site_root)

my rake runner settings are:

• path to rakefile: site_root/Rakefile
• working directory: site_root
• rake tasks: spec
• attached reporters: rspec

everything else is default.

when I run the build i get the following output:

I had a similar problem. I clicked on the "Build Log" tab and was able to see more detail than the "Overview" tab.

I found a workaround:

gem uninstall test-unit

I can't say I like this solution but at least it worked. The Build Log lead me to google for uninitialized constant Test::Unit::TestResult::TestResultFailureSupport which lead me to another "uninitialized constant error" resource on stackoverflow.com which had the solution.
