Rails - Jul 2006 - Recommendations for managing tests for non-models and non-controllers in rails?

I''ve got unit tests for a class library that I''m using in a
rails project.
Currently this is the only project using this library so I would like to
keep the classes and tests in the rails project. I moved the classes under
[app]/lib. I currently have the tests in [app]/test.

It would be great if these tests were run every time I run
''rake''. What is
everyone else doing for this?

I put my classes in ./lib and my tests in ./tests/unit. There''s no  
reason why unit tests should be limited to stuff in ./app/models, as  
far as I can see. :-)

Ah, good point.

I developed the lib using zentest/autotest, which places the test at the
beginning of the name of of the test -- test_something.rb. Rails, or at
least the rake targets for testing seem to want it at the end --
something_test.rb. Once I changed the names ''rake test:units''
found the
tests and ran them.
