travis.ci keeps on failing when running “bundle exec rake”

Question

I am trying to get automated testing sorted out with Travis.ci. However, at the moment the build keeps on failing when trying to execute bundle exec rake. This is what I see...

$ bundle exec rake
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'default'
/home/travis/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper:14:in `eval'
/home/travis/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby_noexec_wrapper:14:in `<main>'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

The command "bundle exec rake" exited with 1.

Done. Your build exited with 1.

My unit tests are in the test folder in the main directory and is named test_np_search.rb. I understand that I am somehow supposed to point travis to this location in order to run the unit tests but I have no idea how to do this.

I have read the ruby related documentation on travis.ci a number of times and have looked online for tutorials, however I have been unable to get this to work.

The whole github repository in question is here: https://github.com/IsmailM/NeuroPeptideSearch

The Travis.CI link is here: https://travis-ci.org/IsmailM/NeuroPeptideSearch

I have been trying to get this sorted for over a week now with any success and so would be highly grateful if anyone could help me.

Many Thank

if you want to execute bundle exec rake on travis, you will have to make sure, that it runs on your local machine!

if you call rake without providing a task-name, it will assume that you want to run the default-task.

if you want to run your minitest testsuite as a default-task, you have to do this:

require "rake/testtask"

Rake::TestTask.new do |t|
  t.pattern = "test/**/*_test.rb"
end

task default: :test
