Rails Plugin Tests Not Executed

May 7th, 2009

With Rails 2.3.2, if you create your own plugin using “script/generate plugin {pluginname}”, then enter the vendor/plugins/{pluginname} directory, and run “rake test”, your tests will not run.

The fix for this is to add the following line to your vendor/plugins/{pluginname}/test/test_helper.rb file:
require 'test/unit'
… so that the top of the file now looks like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'active_support'
require 'active_support/test_case'
require 'test/unit'
(see this lighthouse ticket for further details)
