In reply to: https://twitter.com/avdi/status/401429567250108416 Curious: how do you deal with app Rakefiles that you use in production but without the testing gems being available in prod? Gists welcome.

Rakefile

begin
  require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
  rspec_loaded = true
rescue LoadError
  rspec_loaded = false
  puts "\nThe spec tasks were not defined since rspec could not be loaded.\n\n"
end

if rspec_loaded
  # define the tasks that depend on RSpec
end
