desc "Shortcut for functional tests"
task :f => "test:functionals"

desc "Shortcut for unit tests"
task :u => "test:units"

desc "Shortcut for integration tests"
task :i => "test:integration"

desc "Run unit and functional tests"
task :uf => ["test:units", "test:functionals"]

desc "Run a single test without preparing database first. Smart about finding the test file.
Syntax: rake t u=[file name] n=[test name]
u (or f or i) is shortcut for unit, functional and integration
so this mean run test from unit folder where name match to 'file name' and test name match to 'test name'
