# Testing Rake tasks
To make testing Rake tasks a little easier:
- Use RSpec's metadata tag `type: :task` or
- Place your spec in `spec/tasks` or `ee/spec/tasks`
By doing so, `RakeHelpers` is included which exposes a `run_rake_task(<task>)`
method to make executing tasks possible.
See `spec/support/helpers/rake_helpers.rb` for all available methods.
`$stdout` can be redirected by adding `:silence_stdout`.
Example:
```ruby
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'gitlab:shell rake tasks', :silence_stdout do
before do
Rake.application.rake_require 'tasks/gitlab/shell'
stub_warn_user_is_not_gitlab
end
describe 'install task' do
it 'invokes create_hooks task' do
expect(Rake::Task['gitlab:shell:create_hooks']).to receive(:invoke)
run_rake_task('gitlab:shell:install')
end
end
end
```
