Making bacon more quiet - Ramaze/ramaze GitHub Wiki

Sometimes, you don't want to see backtraces in your test output. bacon accepts a -Q argument to disable them.

If you use rake to start your tests, you can set backtrace on/off by setting an environment variable. You can then check for this variable in your rake task :

Bacon.const_set :Backtraces, false unless ENV['BACON_MUTE'].nil?

Starting your rake task like this (assuming the spec task starts your tests) :

BACON_MUTE=1 rake spec

will suppress bacon backtraces.
