rake task on gem

Question

I have a rake task for a series of rspecs as follows...

require 'spec/rake/spectask'
require 'joliscrapper'

namespace :spec do

  desc "Web scraping files"
  task :scrapers => :environment do
    Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new do |t|
      t.spec_opts = ['--options', "\"#{RAILS_ROOT}/spec/spec.opts\""]
      t.spec_files = FileList['spec/scrapers/*_spec.rb']
      puts t
    end
  end

end

My question is how to get out put as usual from an Rspec... now it outputs nothing... I'd like to find any errors and generate an email if one occurs.

adding:

  t.warning = true
  t.verbose = true

does't seem to have the desired effect either.

Your code as written will create the spec task when rake spec:scrapers is called and be finished, which isn't what you want I think.

Try:

namespace :spec do

  desc "Web scraping files"  
  Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new :scrapers do |t| #creates the spec task with the name :scrapers
    t.spec_opts = ['--options', "\"#{RAILS_ROOT}/spec/spec.opts\""]
    t.spec_files = FileList['spec/scrapers/*_spec.rb']
  end 
  task :scrapers => :environment #adds environment as a prereq
end
