`rake test` fails to run a single test

[Xenofex]

Steps to reproduce

Run rake test path/to/test.rb to invoke a single file test, e.g.

$ bin/rake test test/models/card_test.rb

Expected behavior

Only the specified file is executed.

Actual behavior

The all the tests are executed.

However, rails test test/models/card_test.rb works file

System configuration

Rails version: 5.0.0.1

Ruby version: MRI 2.3.1

bin/rake test doesn't support running a single file that in Rails 5. bin/rake test TEST=test/models/card_test.rb should though.

I'm curious, why would you want to use bin/rake test now that we have a Rails test command builtin?

So it's via a shell env TEST? Before it was TESTOPTS.

Yes I would like to use rails test instead of the old rake test when I'm typing in the terminal. But editor integration breaks due to the changes here. Namely rails.vim, cannot run a single file/test via :.Rake any longer in Rails 5.

And I find that sometimes, the rails [command] version doesn't take advantage of spring correctly. Here in my project, bin/rake routes is run by spring, while neither rails routes nor bin/rails routes utilizes spring.

Rails 4.2 did have an extension to Rake such that rake test test/models/post_test.rb would work, although the convention was TEST=test/models/post_test.rb in gem projects.

Namely rails.vim, cannot run a single file/test via :.Rake any longer in Rails 5.

Then the plugin should be updated to support Rails 5. Which, judging from the linked issue, it seems to have already been. kudos! 👏

And I find that sometimes, the rails [command] version doesn't take advantage of spring correctly. Here in my project, bin/rake routes is run by spring, while neither rails routes nor bin/rails routes utilizes spring.

That could just mean you have a spring version that doesn't support Rails 5's new commands. Try looking up its changelog and updating that as well 🤓

Hi, I am using Rails 4.2 and running below command:

bin/rake test TEST=test/controllers/api/v1/my_controller_test.rb TESTOPTS="-n /should run this test case/"

But it run all test cases in the current file. How should I run current test case and not all test cases in the current file?

I have a vim-test plugin setup, which is running current test case like this, and that is too not running current test case, but all under current test file

./bin/rake test TEST="test/controllers/api/v1/my_controller_test.rb" TESTOPTS="--name='/Api::V1::MyControllerTest\#test_should_run_this_test_case$/'"
