For (what feels like) the minority of us who use minitest instead of rspec, I’ve just created a packs-rails-minitest gem to make the setup a bit easier. All it does right now is define some Rake tasks and provide instructions for how to use it, but hopefully someone will find it useful https://github.com/Ophelos/packs-rails-minitest

I was reading the “Overriding standard Rails test tasks” section, and I have a question, after the overrinding is successful, the task would execute the tests inside packs as well as the ones outside?

rake test would yes, rails test will just do the ones outside because it gets intercepted by a built-in Thor command first.

Unless you set the environment variables it talks about

I’m thinking the library could set the environment variables in test:prepare to make the Thor command work, but I’m not sure if that would have unintended side effects

Nice! I’ll take a look and give it a try! Thanks!
