———————– Logic to set exclude variable

if PLATFORM =~ /darwin/
exclude = ‘–exclude “gems/*”‘
else
exclude = ‘–exclude “rubygems/*”‘
end

———————– Example implementation

require ‘rcov/rcovtask’

desc ‘Measures test coverage using rcov’
namespace :rcov do
desc ‘Output unit test coverage of plugin.’
Rcov::RcovTask.new(:unit) do |rcov|
rcov.pattern = ‘test/unit/**/*_test.rb’
rcov.output_dir = ‘rcov’
rcov.verbose = true
rcov.rcov_opts << ‘–exclude “gems/*”‘
end

desc ‘Output functional test coverage of plugin.’
Rcov::RcovTask.new(:functional) do |rcov|
rcov.pattern = ‘test/functional/**/*_test.rb’
rcov.output_dir = ‘rcov’
rcov.verbose = true
rcov.rcov_opts << ‘–exclude “gems/*”‘
end
end

Odd why this has happened to me and not others… Unless I just missed the step most people don’t — to exclude the gems folders. Thanks for your help in getting me started!

Thanks!
