Running Rake tasks in Rspec Tests
You can invoke Rake tasks as following:
require 'rake'Rake::Task[name].invokeIn this case this would result in the following code:
require 'rake'Rake::Task['db:test:purge'].invoke
Approved answer didn't work for me, when I needed to execute my own rake task
Here's my solution
Put in the top of the spec file
require 'rake'Place these lines where you need to execute your custom rake task, e.g. rake update_data from the file example.rake
load File.expand_path("../../../lib/tasks/example.rake", __FILE__)# make sure you set correct relative path Rake::Task.define_task(:environment)Rake::Task["update_data"].invokeMy environment:
rails (4.0.0)ruby (2.0.0p195)rspec-core (2.14.7) rspec-expectations (2.14.3) rspec-mocks (2.14.4) rspec (2.14.1) rspec-rails (2.14.0)
If we require to use multiple rake tasks we can add
require "rake"Rails.application.load_tasksThen simply call any task.
Rake::Task['sync:process_companies'].invokeThough I cant confirm if its slower because it loads all the tasks
