warning displayed on Rails 3 projects

[paulelliott]

I keep seeing this warning in my logs whenever I run specjour:

WARNING: Global access to Rake DSL methods is deprecated. Please include ... Rake::DSL into classes and modules which use the Rake DSL methods.

I just removed the task(:environment) line and both my project's test suite and the specjour test suite run fine.

FYI, this breaks specjour for me on some Linux machines (I have one that works without the environment task and one that doesn't). I get an error that the task environment is not defined. Honestly, I have no clue as to why that happens.

Reintroducing the environment task fixes it for me. You can avoid the warning by defining it this way:

Rake::Task.define_task(:environment) { }

Neat. I knew I wasn't completely insane when I added that task... What version of ruby/rails are the linux machines running?

[skanev]

So this is the one that's failing:

ruby 1.8.7 (2010-12-23 patchlevel 330) [x86_64-linux], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2011.01

This is the one that's not:

ruby 1.8.7 (2011-12-28 MBARI 8/0x6770 on patchlevel 357) [x86_64-linux], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2012.01

As far as I can tell, this is the only difference. Apart from that it's Rails 3.2.1. I can give you a Gemfile, if you think it will be helpful.

Also, would you want me to open a pull request?

I've added the commits from garmz to the examples branch. I hope to push a release soon.

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks!
