bundle exec rake runs minitest with cucumber options and raises exception

[pbollenbeck]

Probably an unintended side effect of extraction of autorun suppression into multi_test.

In your shell:

rails new cuke-test
cd cuke-test

Edit ./Gemfile

# [...]
gem 'cucumber-rails', require: false
gem 'database_cleaner'

Setup Cucumber and run tests

bundle
rails g cucumber:install
rake db:create db:migrate db:test:prepare
bundle exec rake

Once you fix the cucumber version to 1.3.2, everything works as expected.

[wtfiwtz]

Rails 4, Nokogiri and Cucumber seem to have a dependancy on Minitest 4.x... but its passing RSpec options (--profile) to Test::Unit or Minitest...

Locking cucumber on version 1.3.2 didn't work for me...

I've tried commenting out the 'require' lines in spec_helper.rb but this hasn't helped.

(I'm on Rails 4.0.0, Ruby 2.0.0p247)

[wtfiwtz]

Okay, if I run "cucumber" rather than "rake cucumber" it seems to work fine - with both cucumber 1.3.3 and 1.3.2. Is there something being loaded by rake that is linking things to Test::Unit or Minitest?

[wtfiwtz]

Okay, if you provide any options to cucumber it triggers the autorun behaviour.

I added this to features/support/env.rb ( before require 'cucumber/rails' ):

   # This is taken from here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cukes/VoLUFDbiNdc
   require 'minitest/unit'
   module SurpressAutorun
     attr_accessor :installed_at_exit
   end
   MiniTest::Unit.extend SurpressAutorun
   module MiniTest
     class Unit
       @@installed_at_exit = false
     end
   end

Credit goes to these guys...

Related to #253 I'd guess.

[joshuavial]

The fix in cucumber/multi_test#2 worked for me

[Kosmas]

Closing as it's relevent to fix #253

[bjoerne2]

My solution is similar to yours, @wtfiwtz, but I had to change a few details, as Minitest changed their code a little bit and env.rb was too late. I added an initializer (config/initializers/suppress_minitest.rb) with this content:

# This is taken from here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cukes/VoLUFDbiNdc
require 'minitest'

module Minitest
  @@installed_at_exit = true
end
