== Running with Rake
The easiest way to run the unit tests is through Rake. The default task runs
-the entire test suite for all classes. For more information, checkout the
+the entire test suite for all classes. For more information, checkout the
full array of rake tasks with "rake -T"
Rake can be found at http://rake.rubyforge.org
== Running by hand
-If you only want to run a single test suite, or don't want to bother with Rake,
-you can do so with something like:
+To run a single test suite
- ruby -Itest test/controller/base_tests.rb
+ rake test TEST=path/to/test.rb
-== Dependency on ActiveRecord and database setup
+which can be further narrowed down to one test:
+
+ rake test TEST=path/to/test.rb TESTOPTS="--name=test_something"
+
+== Dependency on Active Record and database setup
Test cases in the test/controller/active_record/ directory depend on having
-activerecord and sqlite installed. If ActiveRecord is not in
+activerecord and sqlite installed. If Active Record is not in
actionpack/../activerecord directory, or the sqlite rubygem is not installed,
these tests are skipped.
