[rspec-users] rspec with CI

[Alex Edwards]

I had that problem too.  I ended up just changing my database.yml in my 
projects/work directory so that production pointed towards the correct 
database.  As my database.yml file is not in source control, this works 
ok as a workaround.  But the problem I am facing is different to that.

When I run the spec:app task form cc, spec failures do not result in a 
build failure.  As I said, I think this is because the spec task uses 
the ruby() method to invoke the specs, and that method is not 
propagating the spec failure out to the build.  I am hoping there might 
be an option I can pass to the spec that would tell it to reraise any 
errors, or maybe just a different rake task I can use to invoke my specs?
