rspec users - Jun 2007 - mystery problem with svn post-commit script running rspec tests

So, just spent seven straight hours on this.

I have a post-commit svn script that runs all my tests.  Emails me if
something goes wrong.

One of the lines looks like:
  @output = `rake test RAILS_ENV=test`

The output from the rspec tests don''t seem to appear in @output.  Why
would that be?  Oddly enough, that only seems to happen when the
script is ran from svn''s post-commit hook.  When I run the script
manually, the rspec test results show up in @output.

Oh, this is a Rails project, by the way.

Do the specs mess around with stdout or stderr?

probably. best to use popen3 to capture those.

 stdin, stdout, stderr = Open3.popen3(''nroff -man'')
