Sorry folks, because I know this has been asked before but I don't
remember anyone giving enough detail for me to sort this out the way I
want to.
How do I change my rake tasks to silently fail if they can't require
rspec?
I can do this:
begin
require 'spec/rake/spectask'
... the whole Rake task ...
rescue LoadError
puts "Unable to load RSpec - do you need to install the gem?"
end
... but that seems insane to have to indent all the code inside that
big begin / rescue block. I'm sure there's a way to exit the script
without causing the whole rake loading chain to fail, but what is it?
I tried 'exit 0' but that seems to exit the whole process.
So I guess this is more a Ruby question than an RSpec question really,
but I'm sure a good answer will help a few other people out too.
I suppose you could override describe:
begin
require 'spec/rake/spectask'
rescue LoadError
Kernel.warn "Unable to load RSpec - do you need to install the gem?"
class << self
def describe(*args)
# do nothing
end
end
end
